Fresh off touching our hearts with her riveting “Confession”, BAbaMelody’s “Abakwa Princess”, Elle Diamond, now brings us some solace with a Hymn of Hope for her people.
“Abakwa” is a track honoring the resilient spirit of the people of Bamenda, the Northwest Region of Cameroon, all natives at home and in the diaspora of the Cameroon Grassfields, and all Struggling People of the Continent as a whole.
Infectious lyrics with impeccable vocals, this is indisputably one of the best amapiano and afrobeats fusion hits of Summer/fall 2024. Beats composed by HarryBeatz, mixed and mastered by Tony Ef in Douala, Cameroon for BGC Melody.
Elle Diamond is the latest and youngest signed artist at BGC Melody, Africa’s rising multinational record label based in San Francisco, California, with operating offices in Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire. Elle Diamond was born and raised in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, which has been suffering from a bloody civil war in almost a decade. She can sing on all types of African Urban beats in English and the local street Pidgin dialect of her native “Abakwa”.
