Aux âmes bien nées la valeur n’attend point le nombre des années. De son vrai nom DJOUMESSI Ulrich Coco, DUC Z est né le 27 octobre 1987 à Douala. « DUC sont les initiales de mon nom et Z est la lettre de l’alphabet la plus proche de mon jour de naissance » dit il. Il a, pour un artiste aussi jeune, un parcours que bien des chanteurs plus expérimentés et âgés pourraient lui envier. Duc Z entre en musique comme on entre au couvent ou au séminaire. Il commence très tôt vers l’âge de 10 ans par la danse où il excelle. Au ly.bi.bo de bonaberi qu’il fréquente et dans son quartier Bonabéri où il habite, il est remarqué dans des imitations assez extraordinaires de Michael Jackson qu’il exécute à merveille, tant sur le plan gestuel que dans le chant, grâce à sa voix fine comme celle de son idole. Mais assez rapidement il délaisse la danse pour se consacrer presque uniquement au chant. Très vite il se fait remarquer par ses qualités vocales créatrices. A 14 ans il est membre créateur du Concept Homonyme, avec son ami Franky P, autre grand nom de la scène R&B au Cameroun et Armel Weladj. Le concept Homonyme accompagnera Alain Manga dans l’album Dis Moi en 2003, album qui sera une très bonne fusion entre la musique camerounaise et le R&B. Il fera éclater au grand jour le talent d’un jeune prodige nommé DUC Z. Une année auparavant il participe à la compilation Trop de Style. Il sera aussi présent comme artiste invité à la plupart des grands concerts organisés au Cameroun (Driver, Willy Denzey…) et des nominations à divers prix et récompenses.
Dimanche 19 Avril restera sans doute à jamais graver dans la mémoire de Duc Z, ce jour là il a été choisi par un jury composé de Hans Mbong (directeur du festival couleurs urbaines), Alain Dexter (CRTV), Alain Tchakounté (Cameroon Tribune), Dany Zié (kamerhiphop.com) et Arthie (webmaster du gabao hip hop festival) pour représenter le Cameroun au festival Gabao du 11 au 14 juin 2009 du coté de Libreville. Il a devancé one face, Mystère, kazam laflam de Douala et One Love, Oliviera, cirially, Z-yang, Samory Ali de Yaoundé.
Emilie Edimo hails from Nkake , a village situated some kilometres from Douala. She ventured into music at a tender age. She discovered that she could not part ways with music as her unique voice attracted much attention from veteran Makossa musicians like Dina Bell, Ben Decca, Monique Seka etc at ”Rocksy” cabaret. At “Sorento”, another renown cabaret in Douala , she graced the stage with artists like Papa Zoé.
She luckily found someone she loved who proposed to take her to Switzerland to pursue her dreams. This person finally became her husband. Her debut album dubbed “Pour nous” was root- Makossa blended with some folkloric rhythms from her province of origin.
Her new album ”Kongossa” is a masterpiece . Here is the video of ”Kongossa” directed by Jean Jacques T Video.
After ”Lilli” , here is a brand new video of ”Amour a deux , Amour a vie” by Roi Polo XVIII (Sergeo Polo) featuring Barbara Kanam. The song bears the title of his new album released early this year. The video was directed and produced by Quentin Brown. Cameroonian artists are taking the game to another level. The video is quite alluring.
