Sylvestre Samba Kabassidi is a rebel with a sensitive soul. His music breaks stereotypes and takes African song in new directions, yet universal and sophisticated but rooted in tradition. Born in Pointe-Noire, the Congo Republic, the coast is not the only similarity Sylvestre finds between Pointe-Noire and Cape Town which he calls his adoptive home.

His passion for music began in his childhood at a very early age, surrounded by beautiful melodies from home and the outside world. Sylvestre started feeling the influence of music and its sounds that make people experience passion, joy, peace, happiness and love, when chosen to participate in a professional album recording.
