Macase The singer talks about the new album.
your album Since when is it out?
The album is called Fly Away. But now, the title with which we are promoting is 'Edin'. The album has twelve tracks with a bonus trac which acts as a thirteenth track. He has been out since Feb. 25 last. This is the third album Macase. It is true that it takes a long time to get our albums. The last was in 2002. So we still took eight years between the two albums. We are currently the promotional phase, the project is to go around the Cameroon; already do know the album to the public because it's long we're not on stage. There must be children who were born between. It should refresh our memories.
What messages convey the different titles?
titles cover everything, of ourselves, of life. I'll take the example of the title 'Mayem', which means I know, I know what I do, I know where I go. This title is like an autobiography, a way of saying that is not lost: there are jobs that take a long time to bear fruit. Most often, when you do something, some people think you're mad, then you know what you do, where you go. So we tell people not to lose hope because sometimes there are moments of blues, moments where we get lost and wondered if you are on the right path. You just keep going because when we started, we're not going to stop there again somewhere else, because then it loses time. There are also songs like 'Melo, who speaks stubborn girls who do not want to listen to others and go from left to right. In the end, they do not know who is the father of the baby. There ESIEE 'which talks about the job. It's a big question mark facing the thousands of young graduates who do not know what to do with their diplomas. The title of the album 'Fly Away' is about young people who still believe that Eldorado is on the other hand, they go and return empty-handed. And they realize they have lost a lot of time thinking about the other side was better for them. 'Bongo' talks about street children, there are those who have powerful stories and just need help, do not just catalog them and say it the lost. In fact, the titles make people aware.
For rhythm, you also explore other sounds?
When creating generally, it does not already trying to do a particular rhythm. It depends on the sensitivity we have when we create a song. That is to say that you sing without knowing if this will be the bikutsi of makossa or something. So, we sing and the drummer trying to find something that goes with the style of the melody. We will find several rhythms in this album, but it remained typical that is to say that there is always this side roots. One always feels that comes from somewhere, Cameroon. It's an album that is open continuity Macase albums.
The departure of some members of the group did it affect you?
Henry Okala and Blick Mbassi left. He deals a little group Macase in Europe, although he released a solo album that works well elsewhere. Henry Okala also released his album not long ago here in Cameroon. I will say at the beginning, we were somewhat affected. This is normal, since Macase is like a family. But you get is done. The core remained. The proof has not added other members because there is already a spirit Macase. If we add someone, we will have to seek to know the person. We preferred to stay five to keep in mind that there already is. We keep good relations with those parties because it is perfectly legitimate for someone to want to stand on its own goest while having the support of others.
Macase already has a name, does that mean that you had no problem finding a producer? The album is
produced by Macase. It was initially decided to do ourselves. That is precisely why we took more time. We went slowly, with the resources we had, we would not run. And then we had made up his mind that in Cameroon, in every way, there's no producer.
