Lornoar (Live at Muziekpublique) - Part I

The Cameroonian singer, songwriter and dancer Lornoar was born and raised in the capital Yaoundé. She is part of the Eton people, belonging to the famous Bantu warriors of the Beti, who were hunted as slaves during the German colonial period and sold to work on the cocoa plantations. Lornoar started performing as a singer at a young age and quickly became one of Cameroon’s best kept secrets thanks to her impressive stage presence. Tours through Africa, Europe and America soon followed. She was asked to sing her song Pupuma (Freedom) at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on December 10, 2014 to officially launch the International Decade for People of African Descent.
