The Vim Views & Versions - Blogs of a MIghTy African

I asked some friends to name their top 5 songs ever, from Cameroon . I do not have a Camerounian alter-ego, yet. I used what I have learnt around Museke . I also asked Google Gemini & other AI bots. You know AI is my friend these days right? I also contributed my top 5. I have never been to Cameroun , which is crazy. No, I have not been there for any weddings, even though my date for the senior ball in MIT was Camerounian. I learnt about Cameroonian music from her, others at MIT and then later at Stanford , and others I met during my time in the US, and traveling around the continent. Google helped during the Museke days too. I wanted to do a list of top 5, but there are too many songs. So I have aggregated 11 , to represent Cameroun in the World Cup of #MusicWeDeyFeel . The starting eleven . Drop your opinions, props, suggestions in the comments section . Here we go, in no particular order, you can suggest who plays centre forward, sweeper, maestro, left wing back or goal...

Can't wait till Christmas. Can wait to see the year move a little slower so I achieve a lot more in 2013 though.

We are only about 73 days to the World Cup in South Africa. Like many other soccer fans, I can't wait. A friend of mine claims to be listening to K'Naan's Waving Flag (the official Mundial song ) everyday. Recently, I heard some news about Shakira composing a song for the upcoming World Cup. Of course, many international (non-African) artistes are recording songs for the World Cup, to support their teams, amongst others. Shakira's Colombia won't be at the Mzansi Mundial but I could make an educated guess that she'll be supporting Cameroun. Why? Because, her World Cup song has Camerounian roots. Now, isn't that cool? Shakira, The Black Eyed Peas, and Alicia Keys will all be performing at a Soweto concert on the eve of the World Cup in South Africa. Shakira's 'Saminamina' samples Zangelewa, an army/marching song popular from the 80's in Cameroon. The song's lyrics are in the Fang language . Listen to Shakira's Saminamina here http://ww...
