About Me

Born in Benin, Laurent Hounsavi came to Paris to complete his studies. Once he had finished his five years university course, he decided to devote himself to his initial passion for music. The young man was mad on Afro-Cuban rhythms and was looking around for a producer. Fed up with having his hopes raised then dashed to the ground, he decided to become his own producer and released his first maxi CD, Toujours te garder. Once the record was ready, he did everything he could to promote it, singing in bars, in the Paris underground, setting up his own groups, giving concerts. As a result he managed to sell more than 8 000 copies of his maxi and establish a fan club throughout Europe, even reaching Africa. Laurent Hounsavi decided to go into top gear by producing his own album with the money he had earned from the first CD. Paris - Cubano was released in autumn 2004. Hounsavi did his own promotion, with that same enthusiasm that he showed when he recorded the ten songs which make to the album. Everything is decidedly Afro-Cuban, except for MissÃ¨ TakplÃ©, based on rhythms from the Benin coast, which he sings by way of homage to the group Jheksfav. Get your layout at SpaceCustom.com
