Trace’s history goes back to 2003 when French-Caribbean entrepreneur Olivier Laouchez and his partners acquired MCM Africa channel and the Trace brand and magazine. Trace decided then to become the “house of Afro-urban cultures” with a localised approach allowing them to seize and express their diversity.
