In fact, the melody is a mould for the words. On his album Léman, the singer-songwriter, guitarist, percussionist connects the music of Central and West Africa and mixes it with bossa nova, jazz and soul. Bassy’s guitar playing and intoxicating, soft voice are enriched by the kora, calabash and a double bass resulting in a unique, haunting sound which is velvety with subtle harmonies, yet also raw with groovy rhythms.
Katika albamu yake ya hivi karibuni mwimbaji, mtunzi, mpiga gitaa na mpiga tumba ameuchukua muziki wa Afrika ya kati na Afrika Magharibi na kuuchanganya na mtindo ya Bossa nova, jazz na soul.
