In 2020, after having played alongside great African musicians for more than 15 years, a new milestone has been reached.
He composes and records an “afro music” album.
It's a very personal album that ignores the codes of this music, a kind of hybrid music.
It's a first ! A European artist who composes and arranges an entire album of African music !
This is also what makes it original and special.
For this album, he gathered around him the "Dream Team" of the new generation of African musicians.
