Mimi GAL is 2010 Varsity Games Mascot

Ernest Kanjo / ••Friday•, 02 •April• 2010 02:58•

MIMI Varsity For the first time in her budding career, Cameroon's new RnB diva, Mimi GAL is learning how to manage an over-crowded mind and euphoria. Hardly had she settled to join the numerous fans who have been responding following her brilliant show on Canal 2's "Mboa" than a new and bigger challenge has emerged to rely on her. After being crowned the 2010 University Games Star ("Star de Jeux"), the young singer will have to take up the responsibility of entertaining hundreds of thousands that make up the Higher Education community in Cameroon and delegations coming from some African countries. She is therefore expected to give a performance at event's opener later next month.

"Looks like it's a dream, but the night is indeed very long!" Mimi GAL laughed, as she reacted to her crowning recently. "Well, I'm beginning to learn that such things come when you decide to take up music as a career. I'm grateful to God for this and also pray it should be a successful adventure."

Mimi told journalists further, "As the Games Star, I will be exposed and many more people will get to know me and the stuff I'm made up. I'm really humbled and promise to let the organisers of the University Games up."

They were 25 young artistes who set for the race to select the Games Star. After two rounds of vocal test, Mimi GAL emerged winner, alongside two others. While she will be performing at the games, the first runner-up will star in a Radio Campus signature tune. Radio Campus is the University of Yaounde II's radio outfit, which university will be hosting this year's edition of the games. The second runner-up, we are told may be given a cash prize.

Since her crowning, Mimi has been in a Yaounde studio, working on the University Games opener and another song to be used for event. Featuring in this song will be Sidney, pioneer "Africa Star" (continental song competition) laureate and member of the jury to select the Games star.

It should be noted that Mimi GAL has just released her maiden album of eight tracks. She has been criss-crossing Cameroon to respond to radio and television interviews. In the coming days, she will be guest on some shows on the giant national broadcaster, CRTV.

Meantime, sales of her CDs is currently going on. To procure a copy, contact 79 42 76 50 or 99 31 94 93.
