Atna Jean Emmanuel (Manu) Njock, aka Zekuhl, is a singer, guitarist, percussionist and a songwriter of world music. He presents a Bolbo-Jazz style. He was born in Quebec City in 1970 and raised in Cameroon. His initiation to Cameroonian and Bantu musical traditions, as well as those of the Baka Pygmies who lived near his village of Kaya, began at age four. He masters many Cameroonian musical styles, including the Assiko, the Bolbo, the Bikutsi, the Ndin, the Mangambeu, the Bol, the Makossa, the Mbalè, the Mpeya of the Baka Pygmies. He is also a Master of the Nkuu (a wooden, cylinder-shaped drum with hollowed-out slits) also known as the African telephone, since it reproduces the sound of spoken language. Arrived in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) in 1991, he became one of the forerunners of musical diversification in Quebec. His lyrics are sung in Bàsàa (a Cameroon language), French and English. == Discography == *1992: ''Zekuhl'' *1997: ''Amon'' *2011: ''I Bolo'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zekuhl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
