CAMER FEMALE ARTIST GOING WILD

This is not just an impression. Cameroonian music or what may now be regarded as such, is again caught in the wave called "porn."The growing success of Leti's Diva, Coco Silver, Amazon, Jocelyne Bizar, Bella Mani and others, is an indicator to be taken very seriously. These young women anonymous, there are one or two years, rose to star status in popular song. Their secret? An old recipe with us: focus text, the look and benefits in general, around the pool. Lyrics, music, entertainment. Everything is done so that the focus remains below the belt. Nothing new, really. Except that the new wave that is sweeping the local radio stations, nightclubs, especially homes bother little subtleties of language. For example, extracts from the now famous "In the Lair" of no less now famous Coco Silver is on everyone's lips. Including those of our poor children.The problem is where. Wanting to follow in the footsteps of their aîenés in the genre, the younger generation does not necessarily have the same talents in the art of subtly suggest. Some opinion condemned vehemently naughty puns a K-Tino or Mbarga Soukouss. What would they say today? In general, the French replaced the national language in the songs. Result: the text is accessible to a wider audience. And as the language of Molière is not necessarily maîetrisée by our singers, it gives what it gives.It is clear that  what we are currently seeing,  is not the model. It is, however it works. This is not surprising. The Cameroonian public has often proved fond of the works of these "brave" who say aloud what people think or do. Thus the guarantee could be given to people like Saint-Désir Atango, Parol Sosthenes, Country Breakfast, K-Tino Mbarga Soukouss, etc.. The debate remains open: should public swallow everything he serves? Before going into the philosophical developments on this issue, it should be noted that the consumption of these works of questionable morals is closely related to the method of promoting musical used here. Where the radio host played a key role. A role often met with blows of banknotes by the artists. The resulting hype usually ends up installing a melody and words in people's minds. In the same vein, and particularly on the bikutsi, cabarets in the city of Yaounde and its surroundings are no strangers to the "contamination". These are real testing ground for artists. It tries the "original versions" before putting the songs on the market.In this context, lyricists business are becoming more difficult to be heard. Their themes deemed "cheesy" no longer meet the necessarily public support. An audience that was perhaps too accustomed to mediocrity and ease, but who knows the difference. Just that he offers something else. The last concert of the artist Charlotte Dipanda, Douala and Yaounde have demonstrated scathing.
