OLOPYTO BY VREEZY VILLE
These days in the Camer scene the trend is to create and associate yourself with a dance, a slang or a tagline of your own. We've seen it with "Sure Mbom" from Spido, "Hein Pere" from Stanley Enow, "Nanga Boko" from Denzyl and "Bastard" from rapstar Jovi.
Today, this one is entitled "Olopyto" and it is by US based artist Vreezy Ville released yesterday. Please don't ask us what it means...just listen!
And that's it!

FAN REVIEW: MANU DIBANGO AT LONDON'S BARBICAN
It was a few weeks ago that we reported the Manu Dibango at 80 concert that took place at London's Barbican.
Here is another fan review for you by another culture enthusiast and proud Camer chica, Betty Atia.
"An absolutely brilliant show it was. Even at 80 Manu Dibango showed that he was still the man in charge. I personally was totally 'wowed' by how much younger he actually looked. The cherry on my cake was being given the opportunity to get up and close to Soul Makossa. I feel our nation is well represented in the world's jazz scene and I really hope that more Cameroonian jazz artists feel inspired to work as hard."
Wishing you were there too? We do too! Oh well, next time!

WHAT'S NEW 237?
Only a few days and there is so much to report about...pheeeww there is certainly no rest these days for a Camer blogger and the Camer talents are not joking!!
Oh well, we certainly love the buzz and today, here is what is new. Watch and listen...
This one is for the "Family", for he only sings for the "Family" so while we await the "BASTARD" video shot in the heart of Mabanda, Douala, here is a new audio track entitled "Family" by Jovi LeMonstre aka Don 4 Kwat released yesterday. Enjoy!!
This one, we just heard it now and the beat totally caught our attention. We are increasingly building up an encouraging amount of hot beats right outta 237 itself. This is great for our music industry so thumbs up to all of the music makers. This one is called "Made In Cameroon" by Melcube. Enjoy!
We do not know much about this artist but apparently she is Yaounde based and her name is Krucial Kate. This one is entitled "Gone". Enjoy!
He is a new talent we just discovered last week at an event here in London. He is a talent who is certainly very proud of his Camer heritage. We love to see this pride especially in talents so young. This one is entitled "Eba" and the talent is Bizu Nino. Enjoy!
Gasha is a name you cannot ignore. She certainly has the talent and the music and videos so far have been consistent. What does the future hold for this amazing talent? Only time and her strategy will tell. "This Is Life" by Gasha...enjoy!
The Mboa Urban Music Tape Vol 1 enabled the public to discover new talents which included Zayox and his "Bangando Star" track featuring the very talented Edel Koulla. The video shot by Ndukong aka February 16th Pictures was released early December. Here it is...enjoy!
Okay so that is enough for your listening and dancing pleasure for today!!
The diversity in Camer music is great right?

NABIL AKA NABSTAR RELEASES KWASIA BRAHA (WATTA) VIDEO
After
“Don’t 4get Me” and “Confirm”, Kwasia Braha (Watta) is the dancey
follow up track that attempts to please both the "lyricist" and
the "dancist” with a controversial twist and a fun, satirical video
to match released today.
Kwasia
Braha; meaning “fool come here” in Twi an Akan language spoken in
Ghana - is once more another powerful lyrical track from Nabil portraying
three verses of uniquely and articulately aligned all pidgin lyrics with
humouristic metaphors and reality inspired imageries where Nabil shows
why he is unique.
The
video is a comical attempt to showcase the bad behaviour from those unpleasant
“haters” equipping you with a one sentence response back at them…”Kwasia Braha
Bring Me Some Watta”.
The
video features guest appearances from legendary Cameroonian
comedian/actor/radio host Fingon Tralala who puts up a wonderful
display of a Kwasia and also displays some great dance moves, Deejay Omar
Eppz, the best African DJ around Belgium and the hottest dance group LA N6.
The track was produced by Majestro "the beat maker" a young talented Belgian producer of African origin, composed by Nabil and mastered by Stephano.

THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC HEALTH CATCHES FIRE
We are not aware of the full details yet but yesterday it seems a section of the Ministry of Public Health building in Yaoundé was on fire.
Judging by the lack of proper maintenance services, age and IT equipment facilities in these buildings, we are not surprised of such an incident taking place.
We hope no one was hurt. If you have more information about this, kindly leave a comment and share it with us.

As Belgium based rapper Nabil aka Nabstar prepares his comeback fully into the music scene, this year has seen him actively release tracks and videos for his EP My Tory Part 1. Kwasia Braha is the dancey new track with a controversial twist also to be featured in this EP with its video scheduled for release on Saturday 7th December 2013.
In anticipation of the release, here are 15 Fun Facts associated with the audio/video.
1. Kwasia Braha the title of the song is in “Twi” which forms part of the Akan languages spoken in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Benin. What does it mean you ask? See next fact!
2. Kwasia is a fool, a plank, an idiot and in this song a “hater”. Bra-Ha means come here. So Kwasia Braha means Fool/hater, come here!
3. You are cautioned to take Kwasia Braha with a large dose of humour. Although controversial, Kwasia Braha gimme some watta is what you should tell those people who hate for no reason. They need to give you some water to cool down your hotness ;)
4. Kwasia Braha was produced by Majestro "the beat maker" a young talented Belgian producer of African origin.
5. Kwasia Braha was composed by Nabil and mastered by Stephano, a brilliant sound engineer.
6. You will be able to celeb spot a few known faces in the Kwasia Braha video which includes legendary Cameroonian comedian/actor/radio host Fingon Tralala. He puts up a wonderful performance of that of a Kwasia. We recommend you spot his dancing moves which are pretty good!
7. The celeb spotting continues...Deejay Omar Eppz who appears in the video also hosted the behind the scenes for 9jTV (The most active and omnipresent Media in Central Europe).
8. On the Kwasia Braha video, you will find appearances from 3rd World Survivor protégé Nasomi who is a Dutch based Cameroonian artist with an upcoming single and a powerful voice & Lil D another 3rd World Survivor protégé getting ready to sing his way to the top! WATCH OUT FOR THEM!
9. Catch the hottest most prominent urban dance group in Belgium LA N6 in the Kwasia Braha video. With almost 200,000 views on YouTube you see they are hot! Sizzling hot and they are Nabil’s official dancers too.
10. It is easy to look very good when you are Nabil aka Nabstar but oh yes we must confess there was also a styling team for the Kwasia Braha video! Nabil was dressed by upcoming Belgian based designer Sanhela Teky. MakeUp was done by Grace Yankee and the coordination by Harmony and Ely of HASWELY.
11. The original text to Kwasia Braha was "I am getting hotter hotter bring me some watta" but was changed to “Kwasia Braha gimme some watta” with a little help from a Ghanaian friend.
12. Kwasia Braha is once more another powerful lyrical track from Nabstar portraying three verses of uniquely and articulately aligned ALL PIDGIN lyrics with metaphors, humour, and reality inspired imageries where Nabil shows why he is unique.
13. After "Don't 4get Me" and "Confirm" "Kwasia Braha" brings out a 3rd Personality not yet seen in Nabil.
14. Kwasia Braha is dedicated to the late great graffiti artist in Cameroon called MERIC who was one of Nabil’s business partners in show business back in 2005. He was a friend, a brother and an inspiration to Nabil whom he hereby crowns a street legend.
15. Kwasia Braha is an original track that cannot be labeled or categorised under a particular genre, It attempts to please both the "lyricist" and the "dancist.”
And that concludes the 15 Fun Facts for Kwasia Braha video to be released this Saturday 07 December 2013.

FAN REVIEW: MANU DIBANGO AT LONDON'S BARBICAN
It was only
last Tuesday that the Afro/World Jazz loving and Cameroonian communities in
London were buzzing with a certain high energy of expectation and anxiety as
legendary "Soul Makossa" king and proud Team 237 hero Manu Dibango was due to perform at the Barbican.
We were
unable to attend but don't fret, say, have we got news for you?! Yes we have!!
We asked a few attendees to give us their impression of the show and here is
our first review below by writer, culture enthusiast Ngum Ngafor.
Happy
Reading...
AN EVENING WITH A NATIONAL TREASURE
Not even the madness of Transport For
London could come between me and my date of the year! After unnerving
negotiations around delayed train lines, I got to London's Barbican concert
hall in time for Muntu Valdo's amazing opening performance for the legendary Manu
Dibango's 80 birthday gig.
If you haven't seen Muntu yet, think one
man bad with the command of a wicked ensemble. Some have even compared him to
Bob Dylan! I can see how. He was bringing down that harmonica folkiness down
with a unique Duala quintessence and the audience drenched in it! There was
even time for a humorous demo on real time loop recording.
Muntu offered several delights from albums
“Gods and Devils” and “The One and the Many” but 'Dimala' (we will go) remains
the most lingering. And what do you know? It's the track that first caught Manu
Dibango's attention.
For a mega star, Papa Manu seems hardly
hot on airs. In fact, with a 9-piece- band in tow, he stepped onto the stage
with the cool of a man walking into his living room.
Opening salvo "Douala Serenade"
was clearly a statement of intent and we fell for it. "Soir Au Village"
may have opened magic doors into the simple delights of rural life. But this
wasn't going to be just another groovy, sit down affair!
From makossa to funk, jazz, bendskin, reggae and classic rhumba, Manu had his audience rump shaking and foot
stumping. There was even some outright crazy dancing too lol! But the highlight
of the night for me had to be Manu's performance of 70's mega hit "Big
Blow" with British Jazz great Courteney Pine. L-a-w-d! The sax talk
between them was an exquisite assault on every single sense!
Deciding the setlist for a Manu concert
must be a nightmare so while I'd have liked to hear favourites like “Kango” and
“Okoh”, I won't hold their absence against anyone and what's more? With its
unmistakable stutter and evergreen sound, another wicked arrangement of "Soul
Makossa" was just the closing high we needed.
Energetic, playful and way beyond
seasoned, one gets a feeling Manu Dibango has not just mellowed with age but
that he also stopped thinking of music as work decades ago. And did I mention
he looks F-I-T!
Yes you just did!! Pheewww...what a
review!! Takes us back to centre stage doesn't it?
Many thanks to Ngum for her thoughts.

V IS FOR VICTORY FOR SINE IN NEW YORK...
Camer based artist Sine seems to have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for this year after achieving to do what many Camer artists only dream of doing in their career time which is to sing for a very high powered official such as Hillary Clinton former America's First Lady and runner up presidential candidate. Sine just accomplished that and also did it in New York, New York!
He also recently released the video to 'Paplé' a slang term for 'crazy' which showed an excellent collaboration between him and Petit Pays depicting a beautiful melange of the old and the new, Makossa and Afrobeat.
What a way to close off the year we say and we hope to see more from him in 2014. Check out his 'Victory' sign as he chills in downtown Times Square in NYC.

THE ANGLOFICATION OF SAMUEL ETO'O
Hello DC readers, another day another new post to fill you up with!!
So recently on his Facebook page, we have noticed a shift in the communication approach by our Papa Samuel Eto'o.
Over the years, Eto'o has mainly identified his brand with a rather French and Spanish approach which we found rather worrying considering le Camer est bilingue! As a talent with this very rich heritage behind him, Eto'o should've have used it as a big unique asset in is career and brand development.
Nonetheless, whether he has been encouraged by his communication team or whether it is due to the fact that he is now a Chelsky player we are happy to see his 'Anglo' side pour out.
Check out below images of some of his posts.
So there you have it, the Anglophiled Eto'o lol!! So so go before Papa!
By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers from the US of A. Enjoy your feast and be thankful too.

HE WILL ROCK YOU MOLO MOLO...ITS ACE!
He is on a solo route after saying his goodbye to Black Triangle Africa so ACE is not new to the Camer music scene. After almost a year behind the scenes working on his materials, he is ready to go public and show us just what he is made of under the new umbrella of BlackGold Entertainment.
What is he bringing to our ears? An RnB track that blends subtly the classic and the contemporary rhythm and blues with carefully selected instruments and a sound that is unique to him which he has dubbed CameRnB!! We love that!
Without further ado, here below is Molo Molo the debut track from ACE. We love love it and DJ Pazzo is sure making a name and a reputation for being one of the best producers in Cameroon.
So so go before Team 237!! Enjoy!
Hope you liked it!!

TAT' OBASEH...MAKE ASKIA DANCE TILL DAWN
Soooooo DC readers and lovers, we can't tell you all how excited we are at the changes being made around the entertainment scene in Cameroon...we are too excited because we have another update for you today and we have had this song on replay abuse all day!!
Askia is a Buea based rapper/singer with a bad girl attitude signed under Sieni Brothers...she has no time to answer calls by the way but if you give her the music you can party with her...till dawn!! If you didn't know, she is Askia and she was born like this!
The video of the track with an unforgettable hook "Tat' Obaseh"; well put together by Adrenaline Studios is a party/dancey/upbeat well represented video that certainly does the track justice. From the dancing guy group, to the dancing mami at the end and even the dancing duel scenes between the guys and the girls at the end shows you why you cannot be seated down for this track...everyone has to be on their feet to dance...Askia did warn you lol!
What we also love about the video is that Askia actually changes outfits!! Now that is a change we want to see continue especially amongst the female artists. Please take your image seriously!!
Well take a look for yourself...remember you have been warned! Get up and dance!!
What do you think? Tat' Obaseh...tete..eh!!! Tat' Obaseh...tete...eh!!!
