Elong Jeano - Jabea [VINYL]

Jabea is the debut album by Jeano Elong, a Cameroonian singer and bassist based in Hamburg. Hailing from Ebone, Cameroon, Jeano performs primarily in his native language, Bakaka, blending traditional African sounds with influences from Hamburg's vibrant underground music scene. Produced by Ted Gaier (Goldene Zitronen) and journalist Christoph Twickel, Jabea is rich with styles like Makossa, Bikutsi, and Highlife, layered with psychedelia, Afro-beats, and experimental jazz elements. Elong's journey to Germany reflects themes in his music. After fleeing Libya during the NATO bombings, he arrived in Europe and became part of Hamburg's Lampedusa protest movement, which fought for refugee rights. Inspired to connect deeply with his roots, he began writing in Bakaka, bringing his mother's advice to his work. Tracks like "Jabea" celebrate artistic freedom, while "Vieux Fascistes Africaines" critiques corrupt African leaders, and "Common" advocates reconciliation within Cameroon. Each track resonates with Elong's experiences, emphasizing unity, resilience, and a hope for peace.
