// Blick Bassy
Soulful Cameroonian singer Blick Bassy was born in Yaounde in 1974. During his childhood he lived with his grandparents in Mintaba and was immersed in rural cultural traditions. Back in the capital, his love of international music grew and as a teenager he played jazz, bossa nova and West African music in his popular first band, Jazz Crew. In 1996 he formed Macase which won several national and international awards, including the RFI Prize for World Music in 2001 and Best New African Group by the KORA Awards in 2003. His first solo album, Léman, released in 2009, was recorded at Salif Keita’s studio in Bamako, Mali and in Paris, where Bassy is now based.
