As if we were not already going through a bad day yesterday with the one year anniversary of tonton Lapiro de Mbanga who passed away in the USA last year, we had to then hear this very bad news to top it up...
'Malinga' crooner, a major voice of the anciens makossa clan of the 80s, tonton Guy Lobe - another muna Sawa has left our world. The news came through early evening yesterday that the artist with his striking height and size had passed away at the Yaoundé General Hospital. The cause of death was not revealed but about two years ago, the artist was announced dead on social media however pictures were then circulated of him gravely ill at a hospital in Paris.
Whatever the cause of death, it is still so very sad to see these artists which were a major part of our childhood die one by one. What will become of our music culture...only God knows.
Guy Lobe's co-artist on the album Passé-Composé (Sans prétention); Joëlle Esso paid homage to him with these words...
Here is a befitting track to bid him bye bye...
