Ivorian folk musician Peter One recently captivated the audience at a Tiny Desk concert with his tender voice and moving songs. Hailing from Ivory Coast, Peter One's performance included the touching love song "Cherie Vico" sung in the Guro language, showcasing his deep connection to his homeland. Another standout song, "Birds Go Die Out Of Site," narrates a tragic tale of a friend's return to Ivory Coast during a politically turbulent time. Peter One, also known as Pierre-Evrard Tra, initially gained recognition for his albums with Jess Sah Bi in the 1980s before immigrating to the United States in 1995. After a hiatus working as a nurse, he has now returned to music as his passion and career. His music blends Ivorian folk traditions with elements of Southern blues, creating a poignant and soulful sound that resonates with audiences.
