Kìssila records 'Mbouani' against divisions

Kissila Kissila

Early Music Kiss, the recording studio of Kissila has just served the public another musical style that is more conscientious and titled ‘Mbouani’.

Sung in Bamiléké language and intended to be the anthem of rallying for peace in the respective tribes, particularly Bamileke, the song denounces division.

‘Mbouani’ speaks peace, love and unity in families affected by rivalry and jealousy.

"Rivalries, jealousy and wickedness, have infested our homes, to the dismay of the population; where is the solidarity that characterized it?" 
Kìssila, in cries of nostalgia, portrayed it with all her inspiration. She sung in English, Bafang, with a bit of Pidgin and French. Kìssila tried to ensure that all truly understand her message.

This member of Afro house (African beat and techno mix), does not intend to withold any rhythm as soon as she is heard. According to her that is where she developed the "do it all alone attitude" and although "I come up with my own titles, I composed my melodies and chorus all alone. Everything must be perfect, and my attention to detail was matched only by my belief," she told us in an interview.

This Cameroonian flower gives herself a credo: she sings for hope in life and especially moral values. This led to her latest musical discovery which fully justifies her desire. 'Mbouani', a cry of uprising, call for union, a momentum of awareness; Kìssila agonizes to see her people disunited.

This umpteenth title is only a draft of a very ambitious project that has not less than 35 singles. Her first single, 'No Chop Your Money', was released in October 2013 (a response to group P-Square as if to emphasize that all women aren't materialistic). The recent one was 'When the Stars Fly Over' released in November 2014 (which is a song of hope, inspired by the hustle of everyday life of people without permanent houses in Europe and the USA or the poor ‘nanga bokos’ in Cameroon).

Mbouani leads us to a permanent and thrilling quest for harmony (living together), fraternity, ancestral and traditional values, and peace. It is a speech that has come on time, given the circumstances faced in the country.
