TIPTOPSTARS

It’s been weeks since the smashing single by DeeJae featuring FLURI Boyz was released, yet it still feels like Wadjo was only made public yesterday. Unlike less serious music that fades fast, Wadjo’s taste seems to last longer and continues to be palatable each time it is tried. Reason – the Afro beats track is carefully molded to be a sellable piece of artistic work. Reactions to Wadjo have undoubtedly been positive.

“Great song”, “This is cool guys”, “This is a hit song, I love the verse”. These and more are some of the responses to Wadjo which observers have described as an afro-pop sensation.

Perhaps, what adds the impetus to this brilliant job is the captivating use of “Cam-Franglais”, a Cameroonian coinage for the juxtaposition of French and English, now becoming phenomenal in the country. Or, should we say likening the young man who goes searching for the love of his life, to a nomad is a proof of the authors’ brilliant literary mind.

Wadjo (meaning cattle rearer) comes after Marabou, another single by the same authors that is still being consumed with a lot of appetite. DeeJae and the FLURI Boyz will eventually be talking to TIPTOPSTARS and Afrikka Radio’s African Cocktail with Ernest Kanjo
