Word from the President
Believe in the Power of Music!
In 2010, only 1 in 10 Cameroonians embraced local music. However, with the emergence of talented urban acts like Jovi, Stanley Enow, and crossover artists such as Mani Bella, X-Maleya, Lady Ponce, and Coco Argentee, the acceptance of homegrown content soared to 5 in 10 people by 2013.
The years 2016-2018 witnessed an explosion of talent, with more than 12 major artists like Mr Leo, Locko, Maahlox, Francko, Salatiel, Daphne, and Renis captivating audiences. The local acceptance rate skyrocketed to 7-10 Cameroonians actively engaging with Cameroonian music.
