about

Fôret Sacrée (Sacred Forest) is the culmination of 2 years of musical collaboration between Cameroonian singer-songwriter Joel Nya and American musician Jeff Angell, featuring 12 additional Cameroonian musicians. The result is a unique mix of African, jazz, and world folk music sung in Medumba (native Cameroonian language), French, and English. The album was crafted, recorded, and produced entirely in the Central African nation of Cameroon, gainfully employing local musicians, producers, and studios. Proceeds from the album will continue to support local Cameroonian musicians.
