Salif Keita.

A Brice Wassy stems from the generation of African musicians that came to
Europe in the early and mid- seventies. His musical career begins by
playing pots and pans at home, however, very soon after, from 7 to 12 years old;
he played with several groups in Yaounde (Cameroon).
Having arrived in Paris in 1974 he played with Wally Badarou then with
internationally known Manu Dibango for a spell of 6 years. His
participationon the "Waka Dibango" album spotlights his musical qualities that
were already well renowned in the musical milieu.

albums for many well known African musicians but he especially enjoys
composing and playing his own music. Here he displays all the wealth of
rhythms, profoundly rooted in Africa, but opened to all genres. Stemming
from the surprising complexity of his latest release "Kù Jazz"
appears the simplicity of African Jazz Dance that leads one to feel music, all
music and nothing but music.
