GumbeMundial
For
those interested in African music. Inspired by the recently released album "Horizonte",
from "Bandé-Gamboa", I recently started a new blog GumbeMundial, about
"Gumbé",
the pop music style of Guinea-Bissau.
Of course my blogs AfricOriginal is still "in the air".

Djene Djento
Born in 1963, Djene Djento started his career in the late
Seventies as singer in Salle John’s band ‘Les Johnco.’ In the early Eighties he
joined the band ‘N’Kumbe’, together with Manulo, Ngoloko Zachée
and Patrick Djeky. In 1983 it was also Manulo who signed for the musical
direction of Djene Djento’s first solo album Debroussailler. The album became a
huge hit in Cameroon, was ‘record of the year' in 1985 and brought Djene Djento
a golden record. Several hit albums followed during the Eighties, but after the
LP ‘Pompé’,
released in 1990 a period of silence followed. In 1999 he was back in the
charts with the CD ‘8e Commandement’ released on the JPS label. In
2018 he announced the release of a new album ‘Vivre Ensemble’.
Today, Djene
Djento is no longer making the news with his musical achievements, but by criticizing
fellow artists who believe that after more than 40 years it becomes time that President
Paul Biya makes way for another.
