The Bring back Makossa campaign has been up and running on Dulce Camer for the past 5 weeks. Each week, we bing you some old Makossa tunes which will get you reminsicing of childhood moments and bopping to the "wicked" rythmns!
This week we will be focusing on the Decca family. They have been known as the royal family of Makossa since Ben and little sexier sister Grace took over our radio earwaves and our television screens during the Tele Podium and Tam Tam Weekend eras.
Ben Decca's Makossa style has been dubbed the softer and more elegant Makossa while his sister Grace brought the sexy back into Makossa making her also a great fashion icon during the late 80's and inspiring a trend with her famous split dress in the Muyengue video which was later dubbed "the Grace Decca split".
With no further ado, enjoy the videos.
Oh myyyy, memories!! They never die, they just stay hidden somewhere deep down inside of you waiting for the slightest of triggers to bring them flooding. Grace Decca has surely been my trigger today!
Hope you enjoyed the videos.
Dulce Camer has been going for a year now and we the team behind this blog would like to thank each and every one of you for the support, the encouragement, the positive feedback, the visits, the recommendations and also all the interviewees who agreed to take part. You have made the blog what it is today and we are now boasting 15,000 visits in 12 months!
We will have a special treat for you at the end of the month. Keep checking DC!
Stay sweet and have a fab weekend

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME WITH CAMER COUTURE
The Baka people of southern Cameroon live a very traditional and separate life. Their habitat, the Baka forest is in danger of deforestation and as such the lives of these people are being threatened.
Their plight has been made international however more still needs to be done to help these people live the lives that they want and help them protect their environment.
The Camer Couture Fashion showcase which will be held here in London on the 17th of October have chosen Global Music Exchange (GME) as their chosen charity and all takings from the raffle tickets sold on the night will be given to this charity to continue the work they are doing to help the Baka pygmies.
As they say, charity begins at home so please join the Camer Couture team in supporting Global Music Exchange in their work.
Here below is an interview with Martin Craddick, founder of GME.
Happy Reading y’all
DC: What does your music represent?
MC: I am not sure my music represents anything really. It comes from past experiences till now. The latest album is a combination of my work with the Baka pygmies which has been going on for 18 years now.
DC: Why did you decide to use your music to help those people like the Baka pygmies who their own societies had forgotten about them?
MC: I work primarily with the Baka people and I got attracted by their music when I first went there 18 years ago and I did not decide to use my music for this cause, it just fell from me selling albums! That’s how it all kicked off.
DC: How did you hear of the Baka people of Cameroon?
MC: Erm…I saw them on television on a documentary in Channel4 in 1989 and as I was watching it I just thought I wanted to go there!
DC: So far, what contributions have you added to their community?
MC: So far, we have helped them to get ID cards, we have built them a music house which acts as a meeting point, we are paying for their healthcare therefore making them the only people in Cameroon with free healthcare, we are currently trying to set up summer schools for them. Overall, what this has helped them to have is their own voice, their plight has been made known internationally.
DC: What is your goal for these people?
MC: I would like them to keep being able to live as they want to live. This is what we are trying to facilitate.
DC: What contribution would you like to see from the Cameroonian government towards these people?
MC: The Cameroonian government have been very positive towards us and helpful thus far however, I would love for the Cameroonian government to give the Baka people jurisdiction over their land.
DC: And the rest of the Cameroonian general public?
MC: They could support them by buying their music.
DC: The royalties for the Baka people are collected by GME (Global Music Exchange), is that a charity you created?
MC: Yes it is. It was created primarily to look after the Baka people as well as a way for traditional recorded music to get respected and appreciated in other parts of the World.
DC: How has both albums been doing in the charts?
MC: They had good reviews, a little bit of airplay and some sales.
DC: In your opinion, what does the future look like for the Baka people?
MC: It is hard as pressures such as loggings etc exist however, there are some positive movements.

ARTY FARTY TIME!
Feast your eyes on these beautiful paintings / drawings from a fabulous Cameroonian artist by the name of Florence Béal-Nénakwé.
According to her website, the internal energy from her native Cameroon and her personal life are enough to make her express this cheerfulness and hope on a canvass.
Her artistic influences stems from her childhood days when she spent her spare time and holidays at the Bangangté Chief's palace.
I hope to get her on Dulce Camer!

DULCE CAMER ENDORSES THE WAXING LYRICAL CAMPAIGN
Born in Cameroon and based in South Africa, 28-year-old soul singer and producer, Nde Ndifonka aka Wax, carries his messages of love and compassion throughout the world – in June 2009 he jetted off to the US to perform for charity, GEMS, before joining another US charity, Global Majority later that month to help them on their peace-through-dialogue tour. He staged a show for UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon on his recent visit to South Africa.Nde is a spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), brand ambassador for the City of Joburg, and brand ambassador for the ONE Movement (an international anti-racism/xenophobia initiative championed by the United Nations). Owner of record label, Lolhiphop records, he is also behind other artists from across the continent, such as Daveyton’s songbirg, Peggy. His first publication, a play entitled ‘The Chosen One' has been used in South African public schools and tertiary institutions across the continent. He also makes times to give talks and lectures on various pertinent issues affecting Africa at universities and communities.
Wax offers a semi-autobiographical album ‘African dream’, that is as lyrically profound and musically scintillating as it is relevant to all ages and races. The album tells stories of love and war, drawing blood from afro-pessimists, and celebrating love and humanity with beautiful soul rhythms.
Among everything he has to do, Mr Wax found time to talk to DC.
Happy Reading y'all!
DC: You are dubbed the Cameroonian brotha of soul, what does this mean to you?
Wax: It means a lot – I’m glad to represent a new dawn in the musical life of Anglophone Cameroonians who are not scared to have their voice heard and compete against the best in the world.
DC: How did you become an ambassador for the city of Jo’burg, being a Cameroonian?
Wax: Following unfortunate xenophobic attacks on foreigners that rocked South Africa in may 2008, the South Africa public rose to condemn the acts and apologise to immigrants who had suffered from that attacks. The City of Johannesburg also decided to embark on a campaign to show the world that Johannesburg is a city that welcomes and presents opportunities to foreigners. Wax presented a perfect symbol for such a campaign – a young migrant who entered the city a few years ago, and seized the opportunities he met. Wax became the face of an international campaign to sell the City of Johannesburg to foreign investors, tourists and visitors, telling his true story in the “This is my Jo'burg” campaign.
DC: South Africa has come a long way with fighting apartheid, what is the relationship between the black South Africans, the white South Africans and the non South Africans like yourself?
Wax: Xenophobia is a worldwide problem that humans ace everywhere. In Cameroon, we have Igbophobia. These sentiments arise because people do not understnand each other, and have unjustified fears or suspicions. One of my responsibilities as an artists is to sensitise people all over the world (not just in SA) about the benefits unity in diversity. I am a brand ambassador for the ONE Movement, an international anti-racism/xenophobia initiative championed by the United Nations, under the patronage of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
To get to your question though, racism and xenophobia are still a big problem in SA. These are cultures that are not easy to shake off, although progress is being made.

********************************************************
DC: What made you venture into the music industry?
Wax: Passion for music and passion for people. I love to interact with people, and music gives me an opportunity to share my thoughts with people every day.
DC: What do you hope to achieve with your music?
Wax: I don’t expect to change the world, but I am always fully gratified if one persons listens to and gets pleasure form my music. I am even more fulfilled if my music touches one person with a useful message or inspiration. If every person touched one person in a special way, then maybe we have changed the world!

DC: You are involved in so many things like participating in charity shows, staging shows for the UN secretary, giving talks on racism and xenophobia, managing other artists and running a label, how do you find time to do your own thing?
Those things are my own thing! Until I get a family.
Those things are my own thing! Until I get a family.
DC: Ok!
DC: You are a record exec, how easy was it setting up a record label in South Africa?
Wax: Quite easy, besides working my ass off! But South Africa does a lot to encourage young entrepreneurs, although it is always more difficult as a foreigner.
********************************************************
DC: If you were not into music, what else would you have loved to do?
Writing. I’ve always loved writing, and I have a publication that is used in some school currculum.
Writing. I’ve always loved writing, and I have a publication that is used in some school currculum.
DC: How is your cooking skills, I hear you are a good cook!
I cook often and bake on sundays. I invented my own garlic and mushroom pasta recipe, which has earned me many marriage proposals. I keep the proposals in a special file, in case I get to busy to make my own food some day.
DC: You've got one more proposal to add to your file now ;-))
A man who cooks is good, a man who bakes? That's like WOW!
********************************************************
DC: Your new album “African dream” is out today, tell us more about this album?
Wax: African Dream is not just music. It represents a lifestyle. I want the success of this album to be judged not by charts, but by the impact it has on anyone who listens to the message.” So what is this message?
The title track encapsulates this in a bridge that croons: ‘On CNN I see this little street kid; he’s got nothing to eat, and that’s all that they see; but somewhere in his eyes I see ambition scream: who will set me free from these gates of dreaming?’
My dream is to see every African reach their full potential, an objective that goes beyond a child on TV’s basic need for food.
It is not my dream – I am only part of a growing body of African youths who are ready to seize the reins of the continent’s future, force themselves out of the box of limitations, and claim their place as global players in every field of endeavour. I am only motivating my listeners to become part of, and support that body.

DC: When will you be serenading us here in London with your lyrics?
When are you inviting me?
When are you inviting me?
DC: Ohhhh, ok we’ll see!
DC: What advice do you give to others especially in Cameroon who are looking to leave Cameroon and head to another country?
Wax: No matter where you are, success only comes when you work hard and then, it becomes even tougher to maintain your success. I think you would have the same opportunities in Cameroon, maybe more.

DC: Looking very good in your promotional pics, you know the ladies including moi of course would want to know if you work out!
Wax: Actually I don’t. I eat a lot because my mom told me ladies love a man who loves his food. However, I keep fit through hard work and amazing genetics.

DC: Wow, excellent genes then!
DC: And what next for the soul brotha?
Wax: Producing my TV talk show. It’s an edutainment show that all Africans, young and old, would love! When that is done, I’ll look for some other passion, but definitely not climbing mountains.

FIND HER KEEP HER - FHKH *UPDATED*
Film synopsis:FIND HER KEEP HER, a Godson Pictures Production is the story of three friends Charles Knight, Ray Harris and Tyler Babatunde, young men with everything going for them. Except something is missing…the perfect MRS.RIGHT. So, the proverbial search for the woman of the dreams takes them on a rollercoaster with twists and turns.
Charles Knight (Kojo) is a self proclaimed player, a ladies man and a serial heartbreaker, but in walks, Simone Hagan (Rachel Ritfeld), a 25-year-old American solicitor who knows what she wants in a man and changes Charles’s entire perspective. Charles and Simone’s union seems like a match made in heaven when they meet, but finding love is never straight forward.
Kojo, dubbed "The Fresh Prince of Hackney" is fast becoming one of the biggest talents to come out of the black comedy circuit. Kojo has performed all over the world such as America, Holland, Ghana & Nigeria, Germany as well as featuring on our TV screens on MTV Base, Virgin 1 and BBC, Kojo is hands down the man behind the new energy in the new look urban comedy scene.

Kojo brings his comedic flair and adaptability to his debut acting role.
Rachel Ritfeld a seasoned model who has added her sparkling screen presence in hit shows like MTV's Hip-Hop Candy, to the Sky 1 series, 2nd and 3rd season, hosted by Kelly Osbourne, "Project Catwalk" and numerous music videos. Voted one of the hottest women to ever wear a bikini by Fashion TV, the new face for American streetwear brand Akademics, Rachel is now adding actress to her multi faceted brand with her lead role in FIND HER KEEP HER.
