Whenever pressure is mounted and shots are fired at Cameroonian entertainers in a bid for improvement, these shots hardly shoot gospel artists, may be because the name of Jesus is a strong tower that many of them run and hide in, in times of tribulation, but we can’t keep on fleeing responsibility. You can attest that lately, some secular Cameroonian musicians and the industry as a whole has improved tremendously and continues to improve. But this section (Gospel) is still lagging behind and let’s get this straight, it’s not about talent and creativity or hard work, because those things are not lacking, but rather about exposure.
Urban Artists like award winning Prosper Menko, Maureen Forbah (who just came) Akubai and a host of others are doing the right thing both off and online when it comes to promo and exporting their art. We have been talking about them here not because we reached out to them but because we COULD randomly get info about them. It is not the same case for others because their info is hardly available and it limits promo.
Looking for readily available information about some Artists who have been in this moving train for long like Emma Gospel, Egbe Henry, Lilian Belle Menda and some others you can outline is one of the biggest challenge promoters might be facing and they have got to fix this if something must change, not every promoter must come to you privately. That info should be available for them. Emma Gospel amongst many artists have been working hard and have performed in concerts in South Africa and beyond.
