Blick : “I would like to talk about the feeling of fear that prevailed and still prevails around our colonial history, that contributed to the development of the tribal clichés, and that, today, alters our country. That is also because of that fear that nobody dares to stand up to demonstrate or to fight for our freedom.
My family grew up in fear. Men, women and children live in fear, and to exist, this beautiful community is getting drunk with alcohol, with fear, uprooted, under the astounded eyes of the ancestors.”
In 1958, two years before Cameroon independence, Ruben Um Nyobè, the leader of the Popular Union of Cameroon, fell under the French army bullets. Repression against the independentist movement had lasted for fifteen years and had caused thousand of deaths. But until now, France and the Cameroonese state had a total black out with this story. With the album «1958», Blick Bassy aims at putting light on this period of history and paying tribute to those warriors of Cameroon independence.
