Each time she comes on stage, Gasandji immediately exudes a sense of class, empathy and finesse. At her side: drums embellished with African percussions, an acoustic guitar and flute. Her sidemen are at her beck and call, attentive and always ready to follow her into whichever one of her many musical worlds, from the most intimate to the most festive. Gasandji is a voice, a style (shaven head adorned by just one plait) and a spirit.
“When asked why she sings, she talks about love and hope. That’s how Gasandji is; the sentiment of her soul has blended with her body, intertwining passion and desire with a mix of tradition and modernity. We feel Africa surge when she embraces us with her voice that carries influences from jazz, soul and reggae. As it is written - Gasandji “wakes consciousnesses.”
