MEET KABASSIDI

Sylvestre Kabassidi is a rebel with a sensitive, humble soul, who draws his inspiration from a source that very few have the courage to access and explore. He’s a poet who speaks effortlessly of frailty, courage, love and hope.

Whether he sings in French, Lari, Lingala or English, he has the ability to convey his message and be understood, not on a cerebral level but in an emotional sanctuary where it resonate more deeply.

His music breaks stereotypes and take African song in new direction, yet universal and sophisticated but rooted in tradition.
