2. You may be getting to know his music now but Nyangono Du Sud has been doing music for nearly 10 years. He was repeatedly told – by friends and family – to quit music and focus on other things like business but he kept on going hoping that one day he will be heard and felt by his fellow Cameroonians. His now popular song, ‘Ça Déjà Commencé’ is an old song which he recorded almost five years ago.
