Coco Mbassi is a multiple award nominee and winner (RFI, BBC Radio 3, German CD Critics Award), known for her mellow and intricate music and her sultry and delicate vocals, symbolizes our global world as she elegantly blends African roots with Gospel, Soul, Classical and Jazz influences she acquired over the years. From a young age, Coco is exposed to African modern and traditional music, Haendel, James Brown, the Jackson Five, as well as Mahalia Jackson and others. Years later, when she moves to Paris, she starts singing backing vocals in Paris with most major World Music acts. She starts touring worldwide in 1997 and never stops, presenting her two albums Sepia and Sisea as she performs; Reading, Lafayette, Douala, Berlin, Singapore and even Adelaide will benefit from Cocos enchanting music and voice.
