In a powerful celebration of cultural heritage and musical innovation, Masao Masu presents “Lôbâ” (Reggae mix), a groundbreaking musical journey that transforms traditional Cameroonian Esewe rhythm into a contemporary reggae experience.

Rooted in deep cultural traditions, “Lôbâ” is a sonic exploration that pays homage to the rich musical landscape of Cameroon. The track ingeniously incorporates traditional instruments like the “Mukeng” (a wrought iron bell without a clapper), “Mbaka” (a bamboo clapper), and “Museseko” (a rattan rattle), creating a rhythmic tapestry that seamlessly blends ancestral sounds with modern reggae influences.

Central to the project is the Elimbi, an ancestral wooden sculpture that represents a profound communication between the living and the ancestors. This artistic metaphor embodies the track’s spiritual essence – a wide-open mouth harbouring desires, images, and sounds filled with sincerity and deep cultural significance.

“Lôbâ” stands as a testament to the resilience of cultural identity, proving that traditional music can not only survive but thrive in the contemporary global music scene. It is a powerful statement against cultural alienation, ensuring that the musical heritage passed down by previous generations continues to resonate.
