Welcome to the second installment of our Cameroon By Night series where Okayafrica contributor Paola Audrey runs down her choice of the best tracks and videos to hit Cameroon. Since last we left off, Top Cameroonian Artists to WatchGasha, MTV MAMAs Rookie of the Year Stanley Enow, and Numerica all came through with new visuals. Scroll on for the full selection from April, May, and June.
A few months back Cameroon's EMPIRE Company label signed singer/songwriter Magasco. "Fine Boy" marks his first release under the label, and for the occasion, his labelmate Duc-Z joined him for a remix.
After quite some time of silence, Cameroonian songstress Museba is making her way back to the music scene with a brand new video for her J. Martins-assisted single "African Mama."
One of Cameroon's most respected emcees, Ayriq Akam is sticking to his style with this latest video shot in the streets of Yaoundé. "Comme Koppo" is a song about daily realities in Cameroon.
Gasha (one of our Top 10 Cameroonian Artists to Watch) has released a beautifully minimal video to her collaboration with Magasco. Due to issues with her former label, the "Faya Di Burn" visuals were blocked from Youtube for more than a month. We're happy to see the video is available again, check it below.
Award winner Stanley Enow keeps pushing. Prior to taking home "Best New Act" at the MTV Africa Music Awards, the “Hein Père" rapper unveiled the video for his second official single, "Tumbuboss," directed by Shamak.
After a warm welcome for their previous single "Luv," indigenous rap group Tizeu maintains the formula with "Accroche-toi," a dancing jam with a traditional flavour that shows in the video.
Yaoundé "super entertainer" Numerica (another one of our Top Cameroonian Artists to Watch) released a love song back in February, titled "Wallaye Billaye." Take a look at the NS Pictures-directed video for the single below.
