I don't know if the classics French chansonnier ever visited Africa, but apparently he had numerous fans there. Now a Cameroon singer, Kristo Numpuby, has recorded a special project called "Brassens en Afrique". The idea is to re-create the atmosphere of post-independence Africa, giving Brassens' songs an unusual twist. Numpuby has been touring with the show and has just released an album of the same name.
