Nayanka Bell

Nayanka Bell (born 1963 in Agboville, Ivory Coast) is an Ivorian singer who has released several albums, the earliest between 1982 and 1984.

Biography Bell's early work was inspired by the Francophone Caribbean, and although her native tongue is French, she sings in English.

In 2000, she recorded a version of Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime... moi non-plus", with Congolese singer Koffi Olomidé and performed it in front of 17,000 spectators at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy.

In April 2009, Bell was critically injured in a road accident, prompting rumours to spread that she had died. She in fact survived the accident although her injuries were serious and required several operations.
