A mi dir nga nda mbo ti - Cameroon

Take a look at this piece, from the collection "Polyphonies du Cameroun" (Cameroon polyphonies). An authentic traditional, arranged by a young local musician, Jean-Alexis Bakond and collected by Tanguy Bouvet. Since 2013, the organization "Amis du Chur Madrigal du Cameroun" has been working to provide training in music education and to promote the practice of choral singing among young people in Cameroon, and in 2021 initiated a musical creation project based on the collection of traditional Cameroonian songs. A group of young Cameroonian composers, accompanied by Tanguy Bouvet, proposed arrangements with the aim of making them accessible to choirs around the world. This work of transcription and preservation of oral heritage is a journey in Cameroonian lands, from sacred music to secular expressions, from lamentations to rhythmic songs !
