Blick Bassy
Born in Cameroon, West Africa, but currently living in France, Blick Bassy is a soulful singer and composer whose wildly eclectic songs reflect both his cultural heritage and numerous travels. Following the successes of his records 'Akö' (2015) and '1958' (2019), we had Blick Bassy in the studio to celebrate his fourth album 'Mádibá Ni Mbondi', an album sung in the Baasa language of Cameroon. The album brings together ten songs in the form of fables, dedicated to the theme of water, in which his high and angelic voice dominates, carried by delicate guitar, synthesizer melodies, and sober brass arrangements. The cuts are diaphanous and nevertheless modernist songs, which testify to a contemporary and poetic Africanity at the crossroads of soul, folk, and electro. During his interview with Audiotree Guest Host, Austin Peters, Blick chats about his dynamic gear set up, the creative process behind 'Mádibá Ni Mbondi’, and his appointment as the co-director of the Memory Commission on Cameroon.
