Kikoh
Innocent Sentie A.K.A Kikoh, was born in 1993 and his love for music started in
2008. In 2010, he released his first single
which received positive feedback. Often referred to as the LIL KESH of
Cameroon, his undisputed talent brought him close to a big brother in the
industry in the form of Dijay Pazzo, with whom he has been working
behind the scenes ever since.
Recently
signed to BlueBerry City, a record label piloted by Dijay
Pazzo and Chinois, Kikoh is presently working
in collaboration with other big names in the
industry and has now released his debut single
"MUKUM" produced also by Dijay Pazzo. In his silence, he has many
things to say "... I love music and I
am a workaholic working to fulfill my heart's desires..."
The
upcoming artist is on the verge of breaking the stereotype mindset of the
African music industry with innovation and with a cultural go-getting
afropop song, “Mukum”. “Mukum”, which is
a general name in the North West of Cameroon originates from the Kom clan and
it is the biggest masquerade of all the masquerades. Kikoh uses the name Mukum
as a sort of respect to every boss. According to him, when you are boss in your
office, you are a MUKUM (a sort of “Baba”)
“…the name Mukum is related to every boss in his field, whether
you are a football player, fashion designer, president, blogger, director, you
are a mukum…”
The song
is a very powerful pidgin oriented song with few words mentioned in the
French Language. Well written with a thought-out and captivating title as
Mukum, Kikoh seeks not only to shock the African market with his originality,
his witty lyrical lines, but also to shock the lost rhythm and cultural values in
African music.
Mukum is
a cross border song, it's mind blowing, it’s a hit,
it a song that everyone in the world will be able to relate to, because
in every country you find a rich, famous, influential person who is a Mukum.
Also, not only because of the language but also because of the beautifully
patterned instrumentals and ancestral male chorus we used to hear chanted by ancient
warriors at war front.
