Before he started a solo career as singer in the late 70's, Bell'a Njoh was drummer/percussionist in the band Les Cracks. In 1978 he released his first LP on the Edition SOH label. Several more albums followed and in In 1987 he scored his biggest hit in Cameroon with the album Mambo penya.
In the 90's he was successful with Belle mere (1991) and Naimonga (1995). After the album Ca fait mal L'Amour (1996) it became silent around Bell'a Njoh until he surprised everybody with the fresh and dynamic album Ton amour me tue (2005). Unfortunately this album turned out to be his last one as far as I know.
In 2012 Bell'a Njoh received some international attention when the London based DJ collective 'Sofrito' - specialists in rediscovering forgotten 'heavy' tropical sounds - selected the track 'Bolobo' from his first LP for their 'Sufrito International Soundclash compilation.
