Dick Brummelman is “grumpy man” with impeccable taste in African music. You can follow him on twitter or blip.fm. Every day during the World Cup he posts a track from an artist of each country playing that day. During the Cameroon - Japan match he blipped Coco Mbassi’s “Bhafrika”.
The track I’ve posted here is also a Coco Mbassi tune, called “Iwiye”
Enjoy it.
“Coco Mbassi is a singer and songwriter from Cameroon in West Africa who made her name as a backing vocalist with leading African and French pop artists based in Paris, including Salif Keita, Oumou Sangare, Touré Kunda, Manu Dibango and Ray Lema. She was nominated for the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2002 and was the winner of the German Record Critics prize in 2001 and the Radio France Internationale Discoveries contest in 1996.”
