The first ever Cameroonian Music Tour (CMT) of its kind is about to kick off next
month featuring Stanley Enow, Gasha, Magasco and Les Featurists. With 2 dates already revealed, Dulce Camer went behind the scenes to find out a bit more
about it…
DC: Tell us a bit about what Kreef Ent is about and who are
behind it.
KreefEnt: Kreef Entertainment is an organisation
dedicated to expose the musical and cultural content of the country of
Cameroon. In the past years, Cameroonians have not had the opportunity to show
the world how talented and culturally diverse they are. That's why Kreef Ent is ONLY focused on Cameroon.
Kreef Ent is founded by two US based Cameroonian ladies;
Yvonne & Eva who realised they had the same hopes, passion and belief that
Cameroon entertainment is on the rise and can trend worldwide with the right
promotion and patience.
DC: What is the main objective for CMT?
KreefEnt: The music tour we are organising is to bring some
exposure to Cameroonian music and bring the artists closer to their fans in the
diaspora and especially here in America. A lot of
Cameroonian artists, especially the artists involved in this tour are very
much adored in the Cameroonian community in the United States and have
continuously spread the culture of Cameroon in a good light through their
music.
DC: What has been the most stressful and most enjoyable part
of putting this show together?
KreefEnt: Honestly, there hasn't been that much stress
unlike what we really envisioned. However, the most stressful part has been
booking the shows here in the United States. Every State wants them but don't
want to pay their worth and the most interesting part is the artists have
already sacrificed their personal projects to do the tour. This means a lot to
us and that's why we are trying our best to conclude on getting them the number
of shows agreed on which are also worthy too.
On a much lighter note, the most enjoyable part of it all is
the way the Cameroonian public has welcomed the idea of an annual tour of their
favourite artists here in America. When the announcement flyer was put up we
didn't expect that much positive feedback but it was very overwhelming how
Cameroonians were excited about it, especially back home. That definitely is
refreshing and has inspired us a lot.
