I Ka Kené is the seventh album by the Madrid-based group, Dover, released on 4 October 2010.{{cite web | url=http://www.laopinioncoruna.es/cultura/2010/10/02/dover-atreve-ritmos-africanos/425342.html | title=Dover se atreve con ritmos africanos | publisher=La Opinión A Coruña | language=Spanish | date=2 October 2010 | last=Herrero | first=Javier}} The title means "Are you fine?" in the Bambara language.{{Cite web|url=https://www.101languages.net/bambara/basics.html|title=Learn Bambara – Basics|website=www.101languages.net|access-date=2019-08-08}}
The songs were composed between March 2009 and May 2010. The album itself was recorded and produced by Dover in Reno Studios in Madrid between June 7 and July 9, 2010. Five of the songs have been mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (who has worked with blink-182, Paramore and Simple Plan, among others) in Los Angeles, the rest having been mixed by Jesús Antúnez. The album was mastered by Ted Jensen. Dannayá, the first single, was pre-released onto iTunes on July 31.
The 10 songs on the album are sung in a mixture of English, French and Bambara, all together lasting just over 30 minutes in length. In addition to a regular album, Dover have also released a special edition version that will include a vinyl album and a remix of "Dannaya" by Mexican Institute of Sound.
