MATUMAINI (HOPE) is composed by and lyrics by Brice Essomba (Cameroon) and Syssi Mananga (Belgium/Congo). The song a fusion of Brice's jazzy and Syssi's Afrofolk influences. It tells a common and heartfelt story of hope. Through tough times and circumstances of life, recieveing or giving, love is the best way to prevail.
"When fear and doubt have taken a hold of you
When tears are rolling down, when you’re in disarray
You’re not alone, listen, he’s right next to you
Keep hope"
The artists have found each other through the collaboration platform BEYOND MUSIC, www.beyondmusi..., which invited professional musicians, singers, composers and lyricists from all over the world to collaborate and submit new compositions. Out of 110 submissions, 10 pieces were selected for recording at the famous "Studios La Fabrique" in southern France under the direction of multiple Grammy winner Larry Klein. The album is called BEYOND MUSIC Volume One "Same Sky" because we all live under the same sky. It is an ode to humanity and togetherness beyond all boundaries.
