Summary: <p>France-based Cameroonian musician Blick Bassy’s quiet and beautiful songs fall somewhere on the spectrum of blues, folk-soul, and pop, and embody a deep reverence for the traditional music of Cameroon and other parts of Africa. On his latest, record, <em>1958,</em> dedicated to the memory of Ruben Um Nyobé, Felix Moumié and the other heroes of Cameroonian independence, Bassy embraces a listener (mostly in his ancestral language of Basaa) over minimal cello, trumpet, trombone, keyboards, and electronic production. Bassy performs some of these songs, in an intimate, acoustic setting in-studio. -<em> Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Watch the session here:</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em> </em></p>
