Steven Sogo and the Hope Street

The most promising musician from the new born burundian music scene Steven Sogo and the Hope Street A young and very dynamic musician from Bujumbura who took the guitar in the middle of the civil war to express his wish to live and to live a normal life. His music is pure, original blues:  His songs are a cry for life, full of pain and hope at the same time, just a mirror of burundian society these days.

He fusions not only modern instruments with traditional burundian instruments, but takes also traditional rhythms and tunes, rearranges and modernizes the so far little know burundian cultural heritage. One of the most promising musician in the burundian music scene that is just starting to be reborn.Steven Sogo has just been selected musical ambassador by the World Bank Insitute and Jeunesse musicale international for their anti corruption campaign.

His first european appearance in July in the UK is promoted by the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
