EP 34. Cameroonian Music Needs More Than Just Good Songs

What does it really take for Cameroonian music to grow?

We talk about the relationship between artists and their audience, the role of hype and controversy, and why having a good song may not always be enough. We also get into the way Cameroonians respond to their own artists, the importance of foreign validation, and what could change the way local music is supported.

The conversation also takes an unexpected turn into Cameroonian culture, Bamoun heritage, and the idea that our cultures have enough depth and imagination to inspire worlds of their own.

A conversation about music, culture, creativity and what it means to build something that people actually believe in.
