Crying for salvation [Afo-akom] African music discusses about power struggle in Africa. #powerstruggles #africanmusic #nostalgia #afoakom #cameroon #anglophone #bamenda
from a critical point of view, afo akom is acting as the voice of the voiceless in an indirect way. we all know where we are coming from and so he had to chewed his words if not he will have been in the UNIVERSITY OF YAOUNDE 3, hope u all know where i am talking of. i love this music so nice and the rythms
3:49 When the people of Southern Cameroons began crying for salvation, it was just a matter of time - pikin di cry, instead for papa for ask say na weti, papa di vex - When the children of Israel began crying for salvation at the banks of the Red Sea, it was just a matter of time.
je découvre ce musicien que je trouve très bon , le cameroun est un pays vraiment béni . voilà un musicien qui fait de la bonne musique et je lui dis bravo et qu'il continu comme ça .
Afo akom, when he still had the fire in him. i was home last summer and i saw his relatively new clip. He is tryiny to sing some kind of zouk and dressed like one of these guys from the former Zaire. et je me demande, why don't you stick with what you do best? bringing us typical rythms from our beloved homes in the Northwest region.
This guy is a true custodian of the north tradition(Le gaudian de notre tradition). Never relent your effort to keep the flag flying. No nsowa we deh for your bank
He is from the north west Region and that used to be part of Nigeria before the plebicit, when we voted to join La Republique. I hope I am clear enough.
3:49 When the people of Southern Cameroons began crying for salvation at the banks of the Mungo River, it was just a matter of time - pikin di cry, instead for papa for ask say na weti, papa di vex - When the children of Israel began crying for salvation at the banks of the Red Sea, it was just a matter of time.
Can anyone imagine why he had to sing this song back then regarding power struggle but with the name of nigeria? was is dangerous to say 'Cameroon na wosai we do' i dont get it
Exactly, he was using codes to make the grassfield people to understand ( just like the Apostle Paul who wrote things hard to be understood by romans who were the colonial masters). Also, his mention of the exodus which is very important...
@ambeche he is a Cameroonian but maybe the time the record was composed he was in Nigeria. Just like when Petit Pays visited Nigeria a few years ago he played all those records with unwanted language.
Oh! oh ! what a voice crying in the wilderness ? a hungry man is an angry. a prophet is not known in his home town.i wish someone somewhere listened to him then. God bless yerima
i can't really imagine. maybe he will be thrown behind bars if he mention the name of cameroon. its really ridiculous that there is no freedom as such in cameroon.
