BLICK BASSY

Les Grands Événements Series, presented by ICI MUSIQUE

“When I call for an urgent return to tradition, it is in order to better understand the modern world.” For Blick Bassy, the solutions for a better tomorrow can be found in the roots of the past. Sung in his native Bassa language, the music of this multi-talented artist and proponent of Afrofuturism is gentle and thoughtful, pure poetry. His soulful voice, infused with a subtle hint of gospel, graces Central and West African melodies interlaced with indie pop and Afro-soul vibes. The 2019 Sacem Grand Prize winner for World Music will be showcasing his brand-new album, Madíbá.
