Sunday , December 22, 2024 will remain etched in the annals of Cameroonian music.


The esplanade of the National Museum of Yaoundé vibrated to the rhythm of the timeless melodies of the artist MAMA OHANDJA known as "Le Rossignole" , on the occasion of an exceptional concert celebrating her 50 years of career . A large and enthusiastic audience had gathered to pay tribute to this icon of music and creator of the group Confiance Jazz; father of the Confiance Jazz Junior program that the association UMBRELLA FOR YOUTH always intends to promote, particularly in the cultural context .


  • HALF A CENTURY OF MUSIC AND EMOTIONS

For over two hours, MAMA OHANDJA revisited the songs that marked her career, from her early hits to her most recent tracks. The emotion was palpable in the air, as the audience sang along to the familiar refrains. The artist, visibly touched by this tribute, shared anecdotes and memories from her fifty years on stage, offering a real journey through time to her fans.


  • DISTINGUISHED GUESTS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE CELEBRATION



The evening was also marked by the presence of distinguished guests, who came to show their admiration for MAMA OHANDJA . Renowned artists from the Cameroonian and European scene, such as Jean Christophe BERTHET , Guillaume CROSS , SIMBA Daniel , Petit Cerveau , Tonton Le Show , Mama REME STAR , Patty Lamy, Lea JIIN MESSOMO , the group of artists from all regions including Bamenda, The DIVA QUEEN ETEME , Adeline MBENKUM, Her Majesty MANGA LUCKY as well as members of the official CRTV orchestra joined the artist on stage for memorable performances, creating unique moments of exchange and sharing.


  • AN EVENT MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO COMMITTED PARTNERS



The organization of this major event was made possible thanks to the valuable support of several partners. The UMBRELLA FOR YOUTH association, which initiated this project, would like to warmly thank the Ministry of Arts and Culture for its sponsorship, as well as the Élites de la Lékié for their support.


Special thanks are also extended to the CRTV orchestra for its constant support to the artist and Cameroonian culture.


We would also like to thank everyone who attended the concert or who helped make this project possible and thus contributed to the success of this event.


  • A VIBRANT TRIBUTE TO A LEGEND OF CAMEROONIAN MUSIC



The concert of the 50 years of MAMA OHANDJA 's career was much more than just a show. It was a true tribute to a living legend of Cameroonian music, a moment of communion between the artist and his audience, and a celebration of the richness and diversity of Cameroonian culture. This evening will long be remembered as a highlight in the history of music in Cameroon.


A real passing of the baton between Confiance Jazz and Confiance Jazz Junior... Another great success for the UMBRELLA FOR YOUTH association.
