This is part of the musical resources like drum machines or the sounds they are already working on. But there are still quite a lot of of traditional techniques that have adapted well to modernity, such as the guitar-balafon, the use of the Nkule which is more and more frequent. I also note that the work on the Mvet is also done. It may be less visible, but all that is still alive.
Why did you decide to name your new opus Cameroon?
The title Cameroon is a proposal of RFI, producer of the album, because the album is part of a collection of instrumental titles, classified by countries
During its creation what inspired you?
The album Cameroon is an album for the audio illustration of audiovisual productions. It was therefore necessary to imagine sequences, atmospheres, highlights as for a film. The various emblematic instruments have been sources of inspiration, as well as the geographical places, the ambiences of everyday life, spaces, rites ...
The album is an instrumental played with several traditional and modern instruments. Have you created some new instrument outside of your reviewed and corrected Mvet?
Apart from my revised and corrected Mvet, I had fun with everything: ballets, iron plates, pebbles, boxes, bottles ... all kinds of everyday objects that I hijack for music.
Where is this opus available?
It is available for downloading from the RFI Instrumental online platform (https://www.rfi-instrumental.com/en/albums/cameroun) . For professional use, read the operating instructions carefully.
In which category do you place this new album, in the development of your career, it represents what?
It is a great opportunity offered here by RFI, that see the music of Cameroon enter all the layers of music creation and consumption. Because it could be used to public spaces as commercial, author's films, reportages, fictions ... It is the possibility for our sounds, to penetrate other spaces. That's wonderful! In my career, it is a recognition to be called on other production grounds.
If you had to talk about the goals you want to achieve with this new production what will you say?
The Album Cameroon will be used in very beautiful films or even in advertisements massively!
You have been seen engaged in other domains such as women's leadership and the status of women in general. Do you think it is important for artists to become more and more aware of their weight in the influence of Society and this goes in both directions the positive as the negative?
Everyone uses his notoriety as he (she) wants and therefore, with a sensitivity that is personal to him (her).
