About me
Bamenda, Cameroon
Music is breath.
One of the most precious things I was given.
One of the best gifts I can offer the world.
And giving that gift is a pure joy.

The challenge of social change consists first of all in individual awareness. In this world context where the news is governed by the division between people , we wish to say, thanks to this song, that we human beings are all the same and that an even blood flows in our veins whoever we are (Abiana ā I am one of us, you are made of meā) , that we have to be there for each other ( Joyce ā you are not aloneā) and that the purpose of our passage on Earth should be Love between us all.

Where The Heart Is
Our song centers on adoption in largely traditional contexts. Kids from orphanages are oftentimes treated as inherently flawed, when all they lack is love not given. The few parents open to this usually have to fight for the acceptance of their larger families. So we tell the story of a child hoping for home and a lady convicted that her baby is out there. We hope to shine the light on the beauty of these families; created by boundless love, profound commitment and a sense of purpose. And to begin eroding the stigma around it

Inside my head
The song is about the greatest and eternal conflict that every human being is called to face throughout his life : the one between his flesh and his spirit,the good and the bad. Note * Susana Orta decided to express the fact that each of us can live finding the perfect balance between both and she illustrated it presenting 3 principal natural and complementary elements from her native area. * Teriba in the song argued that the spirit must always be over the flesh in order to keep a good life

YES VS NO
This song is a conversation between Mister Yes and Mister No, two opponents in endless rivalry. When one agrees, the other one disagrees, and vice versa. I tried to represent the argument in a musical and funny way while keeping the Ā«Ā conflictĀ Ā» as the theme. The song is sang in English and in Yezoum,my native language
