Chi è Peter One
In the 1980s, Peter One achieved mainstream success, both in his native Ivory Coast and much of Western Africa, as part of a duo with musical partner Jess Sah Bi. Their warm blend of melodic folk, rock, and Afro-pop owed as much to American influences as it did to regional ones, and for a time they enjoyed widespread popularity before political unrest and economic circumstances caused One to immigrate to the U.S. in 1995. The music career he aspired to build in the States never materialized, and he spent the next two decades in Nashville working as a nurse. Remarkably, interest in his music was revived in 2018 when an American indie reissued the duo's debut album to critical acclaim. One, who had never stopped writing songs, eventually signed with Verve, and at the age of 67 made his solo debut with the 2023 album Come Back to Me.
