ABOUT THIS SHOW
With his haunting, soulful voice, Blick Bassy has become one of Africa’s most inventive and distinctive singer-songwriters. Born in Cameroon, West Africa, he has worked in Brazil and is now based in a village in northern France. It’s here that he has developed a style mixing African, Latin and American musical influences with lyrics in the Cameroonian Bassa language. We have been working on this confirmation for over a year and we are absolutely thrilled to host Blick Bassy's Cedar debut and the unveiling of his stunning 2023 release Mádibá (which means "water").

Blick Bassy
Indie pop and afro-soul sounds enthusiast, deeply rooted in the African continent, the very talented Cameroonian singer-songwriter Blick Bassyunveils his new album Mádibá
Blick Bassy has chosen to address the environment, particularly the burning issue of water, on his new album. Known for his vibrant live performances, he will present it on stage.
At the confluence of several living sources, navigating between Africa and the West, Blick Bassy's music – for which he mainly uses Bassa, its mother tongue – is distinguished by its mix as much as by its density. Tending towards the essential, it reaches a high emotional level.
