专辑简介

The project is dedicated to the preservation of the great musical, choral and cultural tradition of the tribal villages in Cameroon around the town of Douala. The songs are in the oral dialects of malimba, bacoco and batanca tribes as well as in French, their official language.

With the help of some members of the villages, the oral texts have been translated into French and then into Italian to thoroughly understand the different forms of singing: prayer, celebration, worry, dismay.

Denise Dimé (born Martin Denise Elessa) from Douala has translated the lyrics and preserves and cherish this oral tradition.
