Description

Cameroonian singer Kareyce Fotso gives a voice to the untold stories of women in her new album Gw├Ā. Rooted in Bamil├®k├® culture, breaking the silence becomes an act of resistance. Gw├Ā is released as a CD digipack with a 16-page booklet on the Belgian label Contre Jour.Born in cosmopolitan Yaound├®, Kareyce Fotso has created a contemporary African repertoire deeply rooted in the Bamil├®k├® culture of her region. With Gw├Ā, she presents a powerful album that highlights the stories of women - narratives often silenced, whispered, carrying pain, yet nonetheless imbued with immense strength. By exploring history and memory, she brings back to life the Gw├Ā, a traditional circle where women gathered to speak, support each other, and grow together. A space where words protected, healed, and transformed.With Gw├Ā, Kareyce Fotso turns women's testimonies into songs and the stage into a space of liberation. It is more than an album or a concert. It is a struggle carried by the voice, a call to awareness, and a clear refusal to normalize violence. A hand extended to those who still hesitate to speak, a voice for those who have never been heard.
