Shortly before the release of her LP Peace, Love and Light in 2013, Danielle Eog added ‘Makedah’ to her name, saying, “Makedah, the queen of Sheba is a strong feminine icon, who represents wisdom and the vision of a proud Africa which is independent and royal.” Descriptions of royalty seem to have followed Danielle throughout much of her career; she was described by Culture Ebene as the princess of Cameroonian soul music, while Nexdim Empire, another Cameroonian entertainment website, proclaimed her the queen of Cameroonian neo soul about two years ago.
‘The Birth of Makédah’ highlights Danielle Eog Makedah in a new light, as she takes the audience through memory lane, revisiting some of her earlier songs as well as performing never heard new songs, which foreground the new direction of her music.
The first of events scheduled to take place every two months at the Cameroon Cultural Centre, Souls & Songs exists within the framework of ‘A la Scène’ which is a cultural entrepreneurial project.
