Suzan Agbor
Suzan, born January 5, 1980 was one of eight children born to her parents who were both Pastors of the Methodist Church in Cameroon. My mom was the leader of the Womens Gospel Choir and she would take me along for rehearsals, says Suzan. Although I could not memorize the words, my soprano voice and rhythm was present. I was so proud to be in the group, says Suzan, who was five at the time. It was her interest in singing that led the leaders of the church to form a childrens choir
At age 11, Suzan joined her school choir and eventually led them to win many competitions.
Wes
Wes Madiko is a Camerounian musician. He is probably best known among Western audiences for In Youpendi, a song from The Lion King II soundtrack, as well as work with Deep Forest and his own 1997 hit Alane.
He first saw the light of day under the baobab tree in Moutaba, which lies some hundred miles away from the city of Douala, Cameroon. From the tender age of two, his grandfather taught him about healing music and how to play the kalimba instrument. The pair soon became inseparable.
