Guitarist, Charleston Hasturde Libaski died October 4

The guitarist, Charleston Hasturde Libaski better known by the name of Arabo, will not be on the stage at the french Institute of Cameroon, Yaoundé on 17 October, alongside O'Connor Lady b and the rest of the team of the Za show.

The musician, carrying a lung infection for two years, died Friday, October 4, 2014 in Douala, exactly one week after a show in Ifc, Douala, on September 26.

That evening, Arabo, not feeling too well, had insisted on his commitments on stage while the rest of the Group was ready to cancel the concert. "He knew it was his last scene", said the Director of Za, Mualu Muela.

Arabo had no other family in Douala apart from his best friend Olivier Mayou.

The five remaining members of the team and involved patrons in the tribute show are trying to organize to bring back the remains of Charleston Hasturde Libaski to Maroua, his native land.
