The group MA’A MEGA ET LES REMES STARS continue to raise awareness about peace and unity in music, for the better development of Cameroon.
The Cameroonian cultural center of Yaoundé hosted on February 29, 2024, the dedication concert of the new maxi single by REME STAR, entitled “tournons la page”. The maxi single is made up of two tracks including the eponymous “tournons la page” and “kebou”, sung in Bafang, Bangou and French. He thus announces the next REME STAR album.
The song “Tournons la page” is inspired by the many problems facing Cameroon at the moment. In this title, REME STAR calls on the people to forget the problems that have passed, particularly in the north-west and south-west regions with the separatists, including in other areas of insecurity in Cameroon; Let us forget and come together to build Cameroon.
She calls for unity, solidarity, mutual aid; it invites each citizen to put their star or their know-how at the service of the community; while remembering that everyone comes with their star, there are those who come to be leaders, those who come to organize; stars serving journalism, music, politics and many others. We will have to bring together our stars, our abilities, our experiences, our skills, to be able to build Cameroon, because we cannot build a country with jealousy, division, hatred. A message which thus enhances the message of the song “hand in hand”.
DJOMO Jeannette, now aged 80, is one of the founders and leader of the cultural group MA'A MEGA ET LES REMES STARS, which was founded in 1972 in BAPOUADJOU in western Cameroon. The group initiated a dance called Lokshwue, which is a rhythm much like Benskin. Lokshwue means yellow yam and has its roots in Bafang. This rhythm translates in its depth, the gathering of women who go to the fields and most of whom have not gone to school, and the yam is this commodity that they cultivate.
The dance in its execution is done with women who have on their heads, baskets with a few yams, holding a hoe in their hands, to say that they are going to the fields, to cultivate and feed the world. The Lokshwue allowed DJOMO Jeannette, REME STAR, oldest member of the MA'A MEGA ET LES REMES STARS group, to travel to the USA through the DJANKA community, which was able to offer a great getaway to the latter with the main goal to promote Cameroonian culture beyond borders, through magnificently developed messages from REME STAR. DJOMO Jeannette remains the only one of the three founders of the group, the other two passed away
Remember that THE MA'A MEGA AND THE REMES STARS revealed themselves to the general public with the famous song "la main dans la main", a true anthem of national unity, which was notably covered in collaboration with Arthur dj. Today, a new page is opening, that of "let's turn the page", to better assert ourselves in this desire to raise awareness in society and participate in the correction of morals.
The dedication concert, which was a great success, made it possible to make the maxi single available in all its splendor and flavor for the benefit of all music lovers.
