Blick Bassy's new album Léman released to acclaim
Blick Bassy is the new soul voice of Cameroon – on his new album Léman (Mirror), the singer-songwriter/guitarist/percussionist connects the music of Central and West Africa and mixes it with bossa nova, jazz, and soul. Bassy’s guitar playing and intoxicating , soft voice were enriched by the kora, calabash, and a double bass resulting in a unique, haunting sound which is velvety with subtle harmonies, yet also raw with groovy rhythms. Léman was recorded in Salif Kaita’s studio in Bamako, Mali, and in Bassy’s current hometown of Paris, and co-produced by Jean Lamoot (known for his work is Saoud Massi, Salif Keita, Nneka and Kasse Mady Diabaté) and Jean Louis Solans.
