VICTOR DÉMÉ

It took thirty years before Burkina Faso based singer, guitarist and tailor Victor Démé recorded his debut CD. The enormous success of the album led to invitations from world music festivals all over Europe. After two hectic years Démé has released Deli, a second album full of unadorned African folk blues. ‘Démé… has the relaxed confidence of a man in his mid-40s who has spent his life singing and playing guitar in the Ouagadougou clubs and bars… he has a fine soulful voice and an original songwriting style’ (The Guardian).
