It's been a while since fans of Cameroonian music have been treated to some really good music. A lot of the stuff that's played on our radio stations and TVs is downright mediocre. To the point where a lot of fans have completely lost faith in our ability to procuce good music.
But it seems all is not lost, as the Douala-based Alpha Better Records has just realesed a song that is set to be a smash hit titled " Quest-ce qui n'a pas marche´?" produced by Big Joe and Salatiel.
The track features the entire roaster- Mr Leo, Salatiel, Askia and their most recent addition, Blaise B- who deliver a melodic piece infused with afrobeat, dancehall and highlife influences. The quartet toggle between Enlish, French and pidgin, to thrill us with a song that will not only have us dancing all night in clubs and snacks but also at home and in cars.
What is most gratifying is that "Quest-ce qui n'a pas marche´ " is not just another sensless song like many that have come and gone unnoticed, but one packed with thought provoking -meaning . The four crooners go back to the essence of what music is meant to do-EDUCATE. This is a call to the other so-called "big artists" out there to step up their game because they are being anhilated by this label that has understood the formula for becoming the best in Cameroon.
Fans of Alpha Better Records will have a hard time forgetting this one. We hope to continue having more of this on a regular basis.
Cameroonian artists wuna stand fine! Alpha Better Records is putting y'all to shame!!!
Here's the lyric video which is also AMAZINGLY WELL DONE!!!
ENJOY!!!!!
