Grammy award-winning Cameroonian world music legend Wes Madiko had been declared dead.
He died on the 25th of June 2021 in Paris, following a medical operation due to a nosocomial infection.
He was renowned for “Youpendi”, a song from The Lion King II soundtrack, as well as work with Deep Forest and his own 1997 hit “Alane” produced by Michel Sanchez.
