After over a decade of performing with The Jazz Crew and Macase, Blick Bassy embarked on a musical journey of his own.
“Akö”, his third album, catches him at his most intimate, combining Basaa language and complex melodic patterns reminiscent of his Cameroonian roots with an unusual chamber-ensemble comprised of cello, trombone, harmonica and samples, that accompany his voice and guitar.
The opening track, “Aké”, is a haunting ballad of extraordinary beauty.
