█ Wax has donned the ribbon on his best work yet, █
█ the semi-biographical album æAfrican dreamÆ, to █
█ be released in July 2009. In the album, he tells █
█ stories of love and war, drawing blood from █
█ afropessimists, celebrating love with beautiful █
█ urban soul rhythms, and strengthening his appeal █
█ as a humanitarian activist. Listeners can expect █
█ to experience a Wax again reinvented, delivering █
█ a conservative yet universal urban sound that █
█ will entrance listeners for ages to come. The █
█ first single from the album, ôMiss Real, Mr █
█ RegularÆ is quickly becoming a sing-along in many █
█ parts of the world: it defines WaxÆ unique vocal █
█ charm, and is sure to mark the rise of one of the █
█ worldÆs finest soul singers. Think Joan █
█ Amatrading meets The Cure. With a youthful, █
█ contemporary touch of Africa. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ "My new album is African Dream, and that is what █
█ itÆs all about. The fact that you could see a █
█ child on TV and this child is desperate and █
█ hungry. Yes the child does need food, but it █
█ doesnÆt end there, that child, has a brain that █
█ could produce a business idea like Facebook, that █
█ could build a plane, that child could be anything █
█ because a child has that ability," he said. (The █
█ Sowetan Online, 9 June 2009) █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ BIO █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ African Dream █
█ █
█ Born in the politically radical city of Bamenda █
█ in Cameroon in 1981, Wax, aka Nde Ndifonka, has █
█ made a mark across the African continent as one █
█ of AfricaÆs influential youngsters, excelling as █
█ a social activist, humanitarian, renaissance █
█ writer and musician. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ In 2006 world music specialist, Richard Nwamba █
█ declared that Cameroon had found a youngster █
█ capable of walking into the shoes of Richard Bona █
█ or Sally Nyolo. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ The profoundness of WaxÆ artistic disposition was █
█ evident when he first appeared on TV as a █
█ dreadlocked youngster singing passionately about █
█ the plight of Ali Abbas of Iraq, a kid who had █
█ lost his limbs and entire family in the Iraq war. █
█ Ali was fitted with new arms after a media █
█ commotion. In the song, Ali Gets His Arms, Wax █
█ protests ôAli gets his arms, but he has no one to █
█ run toÆ. Lines like this have endeared him as a █
█ writer and a musician to listeners across the █
█ continent and the world. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ æAfrican SoulÆ, his 2008 release propelled Wax to █
█ the stature of a respected afrosoul icon. █
█ æAfrican SoulÆ is a musical journey through a █
█ penniless youngsterÆs bold move from Cameroon █
█ through, several international borders, to South █
█ Africa where he finally gets a chance to pursue █
█ his African Dream. It is a story that has been █
█ adopted by the City of Joburg in their latest █
█ international ærealityÆ tourism campaign, a █
█ campaign that uses WaxÆ image and achievements to █
█ attract other entrepreneurial youths to the City █
█ of Gold. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ But Wax represents more that a new generation of █
█ thoughtful young African artists who take pride █
█ in the African music artform. Wax has █
█ simultaneously achieved success in different █
█ challenging fields within six years of his █
█ arrival in South Africa, establishing himself as █
█ a media entrepreneur, humanitarian activist, and █
█ even as a university tutor, while investing in █
█ the cultural development of youths like himself █
█ across the continent. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Wax has donned the ribbon on his best work yet, █
█ the semi-biographical album æAfrican dreamÆ, to █
█ be released in July 2009. In the album, he tells █
█ stories of love and war, drawing blood from █
█ afropessimists, celebrating love with beautiful █
█ urban soul rhythms, and strengthening his appeal █
█ as a humanitarian activist. Listeners can expect █
█ to experience a Wax again reinvented, delivering █
█ a conservative yet universal urban sound that █
█ will entrance listeners for ages to come. The █
█ first single from the album, ôMiss Real, Mr █
█ RegularÆ defines WaxÆ unique vocal charm, and is █
█ sure to mark the rise of one of the worldÆs █
█ finest soul singers. Think Joan Amatrading meets █
█ The Cure. With a youthful, contemporary touch of █
█ Africa. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ The Early Days █
█ █
█ Wax was born, and grew up in the politically █
█ radical city of Bamenda in Cameroon. His love for █
█ music was spurned by a VHS tape which his father █
█ bought during his early childhood, Motown 25. █
█ This tape of the 25th birthday reunion concert of █
█ the Motown greats was used by the family to clean █
█ the player when the needle got dirty, and so it █
█ was that Wax grew up watching and listening to █
█ Marvin Gaye, Smokie Robinsin, the Jackson 5, █
█ Diana Ross and many more. This early influence █
█ will mean that Wax lost touch for a while with █
█ the traditional rhythms of Cameroon. However, the █
█ beauty of WaxÆ music has always been that the █
█ soul and pop influence has only seeped through █
█ his Cameroonian identity, never redefined it. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ To sing or not to sing █
█ █
█ Even till date, pursuing a career in music is not █
█ always a very socially acceptable thing in █
█ certain parts of Cameroon, especially in the █
█ grassfields where bright children are expected to █
█ study hard to become doctors or architects, or █
█ some form of professionals. This partly explains █
█ why Wax, who emerged the best Arts student in his █
█ country during his AÆlevel exams, has been a █
█ committed academic, and ventured into several █
█ professional fields. However, his love for music █
█ was nurtured by his parents. His mom, a strict █
█ disciplinarian, always encouraged him to exploit █
█ his musical talents, and even registered him for █
█ music classes which never happened because the █
█ teacher turned out to be a perpetually high █
█ artist who was to be avoided. In fact, it was her █
█ own brazen determination to learn the guitar at █
█ some stage that spiked his interest in the █
█ instrument, after which his father, a guitarist █
█ and pianist of sorts himself, taught him three █
█ chords on the guitar. Over the next few years, █
█ Wax would play the guitar by ear intermittently, █
█ learning a bit each time. Perhaps this background █
█ defines WaxÆ unpredictable and unique guitar █
█ style û he still composes by ear, making up his █
█ chords as he goes along. The liberal atmosphere █
█ provided by his parents would let this talent █
█ nurture, slowly but surely. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Sacred Heart College █
█ █
█ For seven years (1990-1997), Wax went to boarding █
█ school at Sacred Heart College Mankon. This phase █
█ was one of the most influential in his musical █
█ life. The college had the most popular choir in █
█ the city of Bamenda, and in his last years in the █
█ school, Wax took to playing guitar for the choir, █
█ after several years of not playing the █
█ instrument. Sacred Heart College was also the █
█ place where Wax would write his first song, █
█ Faraway Child, a song which became an anthem █
█ among his classmates. However, he was not █
█ regarded as an outstanding musician among his █
█ peers, and his arrogant declaration that he was █
█ the best songwriter that the school would produce █
█ was widely condemned. The music of the song █
█ Faraway Child would later win runner-up prize in █
█ the state-sponsored Pay-your-tax song █
█ competition. The melodious nature of WaxÆ music, █
█ and even many of his chord progressions are till █
█ date, reminiscent of many of the songs they were █
█ taught in the Sacred Heart Choir, by Marist █
█ Brother Joseph McKee, brother of Gospel great █
█ Mary McKee and himself an adept musician. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Wax conquers UB █
█ █
█ Wax got into Law School at the University of Buea █
█ in 1997 at the age of 16. The university was █
█ culturally moribund, but he and a handful of █
█ ex-Sacred Heart College mates were soon to turn █
█ things around. He wrote a musical ôPolitical █
█ Showdown in UBö staged by these mates û it became █
█ an instant hit, and marked a revolution of life █
█ at the university. With friends like Ndelle Kevin █
█ (Ice), Enow Kingsley and Nsame Gideon (King), Wax █
█ would create a new culture of show business in █
█ the small university town, changing the face of █
█ the university. He became known as a performer █
█ and concert organizer, organising sell-out shows █
█ like Divas 99 and LahSound Music Awards in 2000, █
█ and even the Law Society Concert in 1999, during █
█ his term as President of the Law Society. The █
█ years between 1997 through 2001 are still █
█ regarded as the Golden Years of the University of █
█ Buea, marking an unprecedented boom in social █
█ life, musical events and grand parties. It was █
█ during this period that Wax began his first █
█ studio recordings. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ A Cameroonian in South Africa █
█ █
█ But WaxÆ exploits at his former university did █
█ not all ignite good tidings. He fell out with █
█ university administrators during one of his █
█ concerts; he was president of the law society and █
█ the law department was thought to be at the █
█ forefront of a teacherÆs strike. While █
█ advertising one of his concerts, university █
█ administrators suspected he was calling people to █
█ the venue rather as part of the strike, and soon █
█ troubles began. He appeared before a disciplinary █
█ committee and recommendations were made for his █
█ suspension. He was even accused of political █
█ sedition. However, he was able to fight his way █
█ through with the help of a progressive lawyer and █
█ lecturer, Mike Yanou, and soon after graduating, █
█ he fled to South Africa for postgraduate studies █
█ and also to start a new life. So quick and █
█ unprepared was his departure that he arrived at █
█ the then Johannesburg International Airport with █
█ nothing but 20 dollars to his name. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Ali gets his arms █
█ █
█ While studying, Wax began performing to pay his █
█ bills. He wrote a story for DRUM magazine, for █
█ which he was paid 500 rand. That he used to buy a █
█ second hand guitar, and began playing at private █
█ parties until he found an agent, Lara Patrocino, █
█ who introduced him to corporate gigs. It was █
█ Lara's belief in Wax that first made him think of █
█ himself as a real musician, but a career only █
█ kicked off when veteran producer, Neill Solomon, █
█ brought Wax together with Zulu crooner, Shaluza █
█ Max at Passage One Music. The duet, African Lady, █
█ done in French, English, Zulu and Duala caught █
█ the attention of Dan Chiorboli, who invited Wax █
█ to perform at the Awesome Africa Music Festival █
█ in Durban in 2003. There Wax met Gito Baloi of █
█ Tananas fame, who fell in love with his music and █
█ arranged to record a CD with him. Less than a █
█ week before they were due to start recording, █
█ Gito was viciously murdered. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Determined to carry on the project, Wax roped in █
█ other co-producers, and began recording Ali Gets █
█ His Arms. The product is a 14-track album that █
█ summarizes the effervescent personality of this █
█ young musician. æAli Gets His ArmsÆ the last █
█ recorded song, was written in the studio. It █
█ brings to light the plight of Ali Abbas, the █
█ Iraqi boy who lost his arms when US invaded Iraq. █
█ It is one of the most touching socio-political █
█ commentaries ever sung. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ Olimit █
█ █
█ On the album, Ali gets his arms (released by █
█ Olimit Records which was co-founded by Wax), WaxÆ █
█ unique guitar style sets him apart and his █
█ distinctness remains evident even as he explores █
█ different genres. His themes are captivating and █
█ the music enigmatically beautiful. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ The album sources from different cultures to █
█ explore African music. Wehim wo, featuring █
█ Nigerian Kora-award winner, Kunle, is done in █
█ Yoruba and English and explores some deep folk █
█ rhythms. Another level fuses Mabghalum, a █
█ traditional Cameroonian dance, with hip-hop, to █
█ render one of GospelÆs treasures. It features █
█ Zolile, gospel singer from Joyous Celebration █
█ giving it a local South African feel. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ But Wax knew that a positive response is not █
█ enough to establish an artist. "Ali gets his █
█ arms" is an illustration of his raw talent, and █
█ many of his fans swore that he would not produce █
█ anything better. Wax knew better. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ African soul █
█ █
█ In the search of his own musical identity, Wax █
█ relocated to Cape Town, the famous Jazz sanctuary █
█ of South Africa, in January 2007. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ There he met different musicians, and explored █
█ new sounds while connecting with different █
█ musicians from across the globe. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ After performing countless live shows with █
█ differnet musicians, Wax broght together his █
█ dream team (South African drummer, Simon Annett, █
█ Congolese bassist Simon Valouveta, Congolese █
█ pianist Nelson Malela, Cuban perussionist Jospeh █
█ Averjel, and ocassionally Congolese guitarist █
█ Chris Bakalanga), and after a week in the studio █
█ with engineer Paris Zannos, he emerged with the █
█ highly acclaimed "African Soul". █
