Birgitta Victor, Seychelloise with a home in Germany Bergitta Victor will be one of the stars of ‘Lakadans’, the biggest music manifestation in Seychelles, which is held towards the end of October in ‘Festival Kreol’ every year.
But who is Bergitta Victor ?

For the Germans, Bergitta Victor is the “singer from the Seychelles”. The Swiss, however, describe her as “the German”.

Born in the Seychelles, Bergitta is the niece of popular singer, Patrick Victor. She spent a part of her youth in Tanzania and in Switzerland. Today, the artist lives in Berlin. Although she is perceived as rather quiet and restrained, she displays a totally different personality on stage. Her lyrics tell about personal experiences and the intensive observation of other people. Here she shows no fear and expresses herself freely. With such the in her private and stage personalities, the singer confesses that being on stage feels to her as a kind of emotional striptease.

Bergitta’s latest CD “Sesel” , is doing very well on the international market. Although Seychelles may be Bergitta’s emotional home, but she says that what she calls her “home” is the place where she has “a roof over her head”. Currently that place is Berlin where she has also found the musicians that help her to realize her dream and vision. Bergitta is currently on a tour in Germany to promote her latest album but she has won a fan base, which will be happy to see her in October.
