No. of Paragraph 26

In recognition of World Water Day Blick Bassy announces the release details for his new album, 'Madíbá', due out on May 26, 2023 via InFiné (Sabrina Bellaouel). His fourth album, 'Madiba' is sung in the Baasa language of France-based Bassy's native Cameroon. It follows after his acclaimed 2019 album '1958' (winner of the Sacem World Music Grand Prize & Songlines' Best African Album, which pays homage to Cameroon's efforts to overthrow French colonial rule), a collaboration with Disclosure and the publication of Blick's award-winning debut novel.

Titled after the word for water in the Douala language of Cameroon, 'Madíbá' brings together twelve songs in the form of fables, dedicated to the theme of water. Released today on World Water Day, poignant new single release 'Hola Mè' (meaning 'Help Me') surveys the damage wrought on access to clean, safe water by human interference. Blick is also supporting NGO water.org (co-founded by Matt Damon) around the single release, using his platforms to raise awareness of the global water crisis, and the work water.org is doing to provide people with access to safe water and sanitation. 'Hola Mè' is now streaming from here.
