ROLAND TCHAKOUNTE

Roland Tchakounté is living proof that Blues knows no boundaries. Born in Cameroon, far away from the cotton fields that sculpted his elders’ style, he starts his musical training through percussion then the guitar, followed by the piano and harmonica. His first steps on stage, as a bass player and singer, take place within local Cameroonian band specialised in Afro-American songs’ cover (James Brown, Wilson Picket, Jimi Hendricks, etc.).
