Biography

Born 1982 in Yaoundé, Cameroon. My first inspiration came very early of the musical tradition of Cameroon and my uncle Noa Messomo balafoniste honored with National Award for traditional music to Cameroon, 1986. Already 16 years I work mainly on music based on the percussion of Cameroon. I participated in the various workshops, among others under the direction of Lucky Zebilla (France) Rebecca Martínez-Hernández (Spain), Amadou Karama (Burkina Faso). Between 1998-2004 I made a formation of mounting, modelling and design of types of percussion.
