Cameroonian Composer Blick Bassy's Folk, Soul and Electro Songscapes
France-based Cameroonian musician and composer\xa0Blick Bassy\u2019s quiet and beautiful songs fall somewhere on the spectrum of R & B, pop, and folk, while the sounds of West and Central Africa have continued to resonate.\xa0His Bandcamp calls it "Africanity at the crossroads of soul, folk, and electro".\xa0Past albums by Bassy have also referenced Delta blues, and his latest effort, M\xe1dib\xe1,\xa0dedicated to the theme of water,\xa0is full of modern electronic beats, delicate guitars, brass arrangements, and rich Bassa vocals. Blick Bassy is about to release an extended version of that 2023 LP; it\u2019s called M\u200b\xe1\u200bdib\xe1 Ni Mbondi\xa0and is due out on May 17. Catch him on tour in the U.S.A. this May. -Caryn Havlik
