Colin Bass (born 4 May 1951) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and record producer. Since 1979 he has been a member of the British progressive rock band Camel, who—after a ten‑year hiatus due to the ill health of bandleader Andrew Latimer—returned to active touring in 2013. From 1984 to 1992 he was also a core figure in the pioneering world‑music group 3 Mustaphas 3. He has released two solo albums under his own name and three albums recorded in Indonesia under the name Sabah Habas Mustapha. The title track of the first of these, Denpasar Moon, became hugely popular in Indonesia in the mid‑1990s and has since been covered by more than 50 Indonesian, Malaysian, Japanese and Filipino artists.As a record producer, Bass has worked with a wide range of international artists including the Klezmatics (USA), SambaSunda (Indonesia), Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird (USA), Krar Collective (Ethiopia), Etran Finatawa (Niger) and 9Bach (Wales), among others. As a guest musician he has appeared on albums by several artists, including Malian star Oumou Sangaré, performing on all tracks of her 1993 album Ko Sira. Bass was born in London and began playing professionally in 1968 as the guitarist for a band called the Krisis, performing on the UK club and ballroom circuit. He later switched to bass guitar and joined Velvet Opera in 1970, with whom he made his first recordings for Spark Records. In 1971 he joined an incarnation of the 1960s group The Foundations and spent a year playing the cabaret circuit, mostly in northern England.
