Born in 1974 in Cameroon, singer
and songwriter Blick Bassy started singing at a very young age, and first
gained seasoning as a performer as part of the band Macase. He relocated to France
in the first decade of the 21st century, made the first steps toward
a solo career, and released his solo debut, Léman, in 2009. Hongo
Calling appeared two years later. Both of them captured his unique mix of
jazz, blues, and traditional African music giving a musical bed to lyrics
written and sung in the language Bassa. He scored an international breakthrough
when a snippet from the song “Kiki”, which appeared on his 2015 album Akö,
was used in a television advertising campaign for the iPhone 6. In 2020 he
released the album 1958, a politically pointed work dedicated to Ruben Um
Nyobé, a politician
who fought for Cameroon’s independence before being killed in the year that gave
the album its title.
