Sally Nyolo began here international career as one of the
singers of Zap Mama, a Belgium-based group of a-capella singers, led by the
Belgian-Congolese Marie Daulne. Zap Mama was extremely
successful during the 1990s. But before that, Sally Nyolo was active as backing
vocal and singer on many records and concerts of Toure Kunda,
Princesse Erika and others. After she left Zap Mama, her musical talents, both as singer and as composer, developed further. This enabled her to bring out several solo albums, largely drawing on the same musical sphere as Zap Mama, but increasing the use of traditional rhythms and instruments from the forest region of central Cameroon. Her vocal abilities are stunning, the musical pictures she is drawing are intriguing... Musicians on "Multiculti": Sally Nyolo (vocals, backing vocals, percussion), Jean-Daniel Manga (bass, guitar, balafon), Salvador Douezy (guitar), Gildas Becquet (guitar), and many others. Born: In Eyem-Meyong (near Monatélé) Style: African vocal, folk, bikutsi |
