Miss Cameroon 2010: The jury appoints Mary Barbara Matagnigni


The details of John Paul Zé Bella, leader of the group Zangalewa.

How did you received the news of the resumption of your song by Shakira?

With a sense of pride because Shakira is an icon of world music. It makes us really happy. It thus demonstrates the seriousness of our group over to the music that we developed when we were together. He is someone who calls me from France to announce Saturday. I say thank you to Shakira. But rights must follow. If this is done, I think it's an honor for Cameroon, the military and Zangalewa in particular.

What do you do?

We can not take up arms to shoot her when she is preparing something good for us. Moreover, we were able to reach someone in South Africa today (yesterday, Editor's note) and talks are on track with regard to copyright. And beyond that, I think it's a sign that announces good things for the Indomitable Lions. I tell myself that if she chose a song Cameroon after receiving the mission to compose this hymn, because our football team can create a surprise in this World Cup. For me it's an important sign of happiness for Cameroon in relation to this event. And they say that the signs are unmistakable.

Who really made the song?

The song "Zangalewa" came from Cameroonian sharpshooters who had created a slang for better communication between them during the Second World War. Thus they already mimed pace. We're the first arrangers composers of this song which can be considered part of the national heritage Cameroonian military. We sang together for freedom in Africa. The owners of the rights of this song are members of the group, that is to say Kojidie Emile Victor Dooh Belley and me. We can enjoy it without thinking of others like Annie Anzouer and all others. He said that Shakira is not alone in having taken the title ...
Yes. The first time she had been taken over by an American film. It was nice too. But I think in life, everyone plays his card. My score is to write songs and sing them. The society of copyright, the Ministry of Culture could follow us. We are really powerless to go today in the U.S. claim our rights. There are at least thirty groups around the world who have taken over the Zangalewa. The radio journalists Siantou have stripes on it. What happens

Zé Bella today? I'm

going to retire at age 50 in 2002 after 30 years of experience in the presidential guard. It was at my own request, to take care of me and my family. Since then, I make music, I write movies. Last year, I worked on the song "Mathematik" of a small country. There was no repair until now. So I say that with this icon of world music, things can get better for me.

Dipanda Charlotte: "I do not do this tour to make money"

The first date of Mboa Tour Wednesday night in Douala, has turned to celebrate with a public that has taken over the titles of the singer. The row is over twenty to thirty meters. The doors of the Castle Hall open.

The French Cultural Center has relocated. And a host of music lovers rushes into the air conditioned room. It's nearly full. 1000 people? Probably more. Drivers' room, from who knows where, pushing the song. Impatient, the public gives the reply. Hmm ... it promises. And about 21 hours, Nana Payong admirer among admirers that the public expects, announces Dipanda Charlotte.

And Cleopatra, oh sorry, Charlotte Dipanda appears. Hieratic in its trappings of Egyptian queen. And hysteria takes hold of fans on their knees and in any case, at the foot of the artist. Shouts, cheers and dingy warm the atmosphere near chilled by the big splits. It bursts from everywhere. And when Cleopatra, oh sorry, Charlotte Dipanda launches "Mbasan, Gaëlle Wondji, the choir tonight, loses its ranges. The choir spontaneous public takes the lead and you do not hear it. Here, she repeated before the show ? Better than that.

That whole months that Ms. Dipanda songs are a hit. It works so well that the gentlemen Rapetous, aka hackers have sniffed the windfall. At some silver lining. The muse of the late Hans Hen's gained in reputation and has been nominated several times for Canal gold this weekend. The audience is largely young, even the age of the singer. But here we see "people who never come to the concert," laughs someone. It turns

carnival, as the spectators are in unison with the singer. As and when the songs are strung, the public behind its star and does not let go. It screams of outrage, wriggles, on the podium. He knows the lyrics of each track

andTHE resumes with fidelity and diligence that amaze. "Ndutu Ndema", "Elle", "Mbebi", "Bwel", "Ala wone", "long", "Again," "Eyaya", etc.. Troubadours make the show, with the intention to "eat all their 5000". The price he had to pay for this concert sold out.

On stage, Charlotte Dipanda place his recital of the makossa soft open on the world. Backed by Arthur Monga on bass, Petit Jean Abanda on drums and Julian Pestre said Dipita guitar. The register of the singer is well known. Daughter of the acoustic world music, spurred by Jeannot Hen's and Lokua Kanza, the former vocalist has the voice of his instrument. The vocalist has the opportunity to have fun and slack capacity in flights of vocal exercises and she pulls out pretty well. it shows the audience happy restarts. And especially the troubadours: "We ate all our 5000 with the gift." Charlotte Dipanda is in concert tonight at the Yaounde Ccf.

Charlotte Dipanda " I am not a singer Vip "


Fans in other cities of Cameroon Douala and Yaounde sent me emails to tell me they love what I do. I would give them the chance to see me on stage. I did not become a singer Vip. I am a singer and I would not like the public thinks that I'm inaccessible. But the Franco-Cameroonian Alliance Ccf and allow us to have concerts at affordable prices (2000Fcfa, ed) and are places where we can reach young people.

We would not fund the concert or the "Vipiliser. A year after the album Mizpah, the record is positive. People have integrated into their musical world. But we feel that it's still in Douala and Yaounde. Now I want to touch all parts of Cameroon.
