Passi at Live 8
Passi is a French hip hop artist who became famous
in the mid-1990s with the group Ministère AMER, which included
himself and Stomy Bugsy. He is most widely known, however, as a solo artist,
as well as a participant in many other groups, such as Bisso na Bisso
and Dis l'heure 2 zouk.
Passi was born on 21 December 1972, in Brazzaville, Congo. In 1979, his
family moved to Sarcelles, a suburb of Paris. He graduated from lycée
and created the band Ministère AMER with Stomy Bugsy, who he had
gone to school with. The group's first album, Pourquoi tant de haine?,
was released in 1992, and Passi was forced to end his agronomy studies
at the University of Paris (Nanterre) to be able to focus on music.
Passi's first solo album, Les tentations, was released in 1997, and it
sold 450,000 copies. The project Bisso na Bisso (meaning 'between us'
in Lingala, Congo's most widely spoken language), which was a collective
of French hip hop artists with African origins, including names such as
Ärsenik, released their album Racines in 1999. The same year, Passi
released his second solo album, Genèse.
In 2002, Passi was asked to create the anthem for the African Nations
Cup football competition together with Congolese singer Papa Wemba. The
two eventually managed to attract into the project such names as Youssou
N'Dour and Cheb Mami. Passi's third album, Odyssée, came out in
2004.
