Description
The first commercial vinyl edition of this classic of modern African music, from Burkinabé musician and singer-songwriter Victor Démé. The album is a unique mosaic of folk blues melodies, intimate Mandingo ballads, and Latin influences, salsa and flamenco.
This reissue celebrates the album's 10th anniversary, which was a huge success in France (Gold disc, with 100,000 copies sold) and voted Album of the Year in 2008 by France Inter listeners (the No. 1 French public radio station).
After a 30-year career in Burkina Faso, Démé finally released his first album aged 46. In 2007, with the help of journalist David Commeillas and of Soundicate's activists, they founded the label Chapa Blues Records to promote Victor's music. The singer started to work on his album in the small studio at the back of his artist residence in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. The studio is no more than two rooms separated by a truck windshield and equipped with a 16- track console, but it has become the rallying point of numerous talented artists.
"His voice is warm and slightly husky and his songs are splendidly lyrical and supported by excellent guitar playing." - Songlines (The Best Albums of 2008)
