‘I know where I come from, today I know just who to be’ Wonda Wendy was born in France but raised by Gabonese parents. To get to know her roots, she lived in Gabon for some time. Her track expresses this double life. She thinks that Europeans can learn from Africans and the other way around: ‘Europeans are very individualistic. The family is a small circle, and I think that’s sad. In Africa there’s a big community and there’s always someone around. Europe is a cold place and Europeans could learn something from the African community feeling.’ Wendy is based in Paris and sings in French and English.
