This video above is issued from the debut album “Lemo yassa” of Sheryl Gambo which was a huge success, so that it already received 2 awards.
The lyrics of this video was inspired by the war situation which bruised Congo back in 1997 and focuses on the need for promoting peace without which no development is possible.
Discovered through her massive live performances in her native country, Congo Brazzaville, the soulful velvet-voice diva Sheryl Gambo went on to create an innovative African Urban music recipe by blending Hip Hop, Jazz, soul flavour arrangements, R&B vibes with African grooves rooted in her native Congolese cultural heritage: the result is Nu Afro Soul.
She makes it a point of honour by singing in African languages such as Lingala or Mbochi (both from Congo), before using French or English.
This video above is issued from her debut album “Lemo yassa” which was a huge success, so that it already received 2 awards.
Beside her voice, what makes me crazy about her, is the fact she’s reflecting an innovative image of a modern Africa, inventive, enterprising and proud of her roots.
