One of West Africa's upcoming music stars is returning to Hong Kong to thank the city for giving him his big break.
A year ago, Hong Kong was wowed by the soulful voice and protest songs of Thierry Nkeli Faha, who was invited to the city after the director of the Alliance Francaise was impressed by the talent of the young musician from Togo.
Faha came to the city to record his second album, Avanyo (Togoian for 'everything is going to be all right').
'I was wondering before I came to Hong Kong whether I could meet musicians who could get into my singing,' Faha says.
'I was surprised to meet very good musicians here who had jazz as their main inspiration and who could easily catch my feelings and were able to record this album in an African spirit.'
