Henri Dikongue

When Henri emerges in the mid-1990s, among the new African generation who defied tradition and stereotypes, not many gave him much of a chance. 
A first album, an acoustic guitar, when everyone was talking about techno music to save Africa... 
Offbeat artist? 
We so love the velvety voice of this exiled Cameroonian, freshness, lightness of his music, and his swing... A songwriter of rare finesse which rehabilitates with talent the most ancestral cultures, in an African folk tradition. 
From his encounters and travels, Henri enriched himself of new sensibilities and developed with modesty social topics that were dear to his heart, such as tolerance, friendship, or even the cause of children “anonymous childbirth”. 
Some important dates: 
1995- "WA"
