Cameroon: Afrikan Guitarstrophy

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Cameroon, Arts & Culture, Music

Scribbles from the Den reviews a new album, Afrikan Guitarstrophy [1], by US-based Cameroonian artist, Wanaku, “In this album, Wanaku shuns the “World Music” genre with its the over-reliance on technology and heavy (in)fusion of Western pop sounds.
