Synopsis

Radio Trottoir literally means “Pavement Radio”. It is an expression commonly used in Central Africa to describe an informal means of communication . Pavement radio is mistrusted by the public due to its propensity of the genre to include tales of witchcraft and other ludicrous notions.

In this song, a woman accuses her adversaries of destroying her marriage by posting false unverified information in the public medium of Radio Trottoir.
