Kikoh Innocent Sentie A.K.A Kikoh, was born in 1993 and his love for
music started in 2008. In
2010, he released his first single with a positive
feedback. Often referred to as the LIL KESH of Cameroon, his undisputed talent
brought him close to a big brother in the industry, Dj Pazzo, with whom he
has
been working behind the scenes ever since.
Recently signed to BlueBerryCity, a record label piloted
by Dijay Pazzo and Chinois, Kikoh is
presently working in collaboration with other big names
in the industry and is now at the edge of releasing his debut
single "MUKUM" produced by Dj Pazzo. In his silence, he has many
things to say but we captured this "... I love music and am a workaholic working to fulfill my heart's
desires... "
Today, the upcoming super star is on the verge of breaking the
stereotype mindset of the African music industry
with innovation and with a cultural go-getting afropop song, “Mukum”.
“MUKUM”, which
is a general name in the North West of Cameroon originates from the Kom clan
and it is the biggest masquerade of all the masquerades. Kikoh uses the name
Mukum as a sort of respect to every boss. According to him, when you are boss
in your office, you are a MUKUM (a sort of “Baba”)
“…the name Mukum is related to every boss in
his filed, whether you are a football player, fashion designer, president,
blogger, director, you are a mukum…”
The song is a very powerful pidgin oriented song with few words
mentioned in the French Language. Well written with a thought-out
and captivating title as Mukum, Kikoh seeks not only to shock the African
market with his originality, his witty lyrical lines, but also to shock the
lost rhythm and cultural values in African music.
Mukum is a cross border song, it's
mind blowing, it’s a hit, it a song that everyone in the world will be able to
relate with, because in every country you find a rich, famous,
influential person who is a Mukum, and not just because of the language but
also because of the beautifully patterned instrumentals and ancestral male
chorus we use to hear chanted by ancient warriors at war
the front.
Thanks for
listening, you are MUKUM. Keep up with Kikoh on social media:
