Le deccès de cet icône de la musique camerounaise vient creusé d'avantage le fossée dans lequel nous nous trouvons culturellement parlant. Charlotte était une "grande dame" elle restera à jamais gravée dans ma mémoire et j'adresse à toute la famille si durement éprouvée mes sincères condoléances

C'est le coeur lourd de tristesse que je m'envai laisser ce commentaire qui peut être ne change rien à ce qui est mais qui pourtant pour moi est une façon de partager avec toute la famille musicale camerounaise en general et la famille proche en particulier cette douleur.
Phisicalement maman tu nous as quité mais dans nos coeur tu restes à jamais gravé, tu as été un exemple pour tous et chacun gagnerai a te copier vas et reposes en paix que la terre de nos ancêtres te soit légère il ne nous reste que nos prières à t'offrir pour que ton séjour de l'autre côté te soit reposant...
Infiniment merci pour tout nous t'avons aimé et à jamais nous t'aimerons.
A la famille proche : ce n'est guère facile mais il ne sert à rien de trop se lamenter notre mère à besoin de nos prières je sais qu'elle serait peiné de nous voir souffrir autant
courage à tous
merci

Has the famous Charlotte Mbango passed away? I can't believe it!

We miss you...

Curiously, about a month ago or so, just out of the blue beautiful thoughts of this amazing person suddenly overwhelmed me! I reckoned it had been ages since i heard from her. Then, i decided to reach her by checking her videos, something that i seldom do since i don't listen to Makossa any more. Man, that konkai Makossa video especially awoke in me such a terrible nostalgia, for i loved that song pretty much back in the days.
I reminisce how i would stay glued infront of the TV each time the lively clip was on the air. Such video clips galvanized me to want to leave Africa, for even as a kid then, i thought those guys were having so much fun. I remember how we would dance all night to this song, and how we would sing it word for word eventhough we never understood the lyrics. Oh dread, i miss those days! How i miss this lovely woman!
I had to check with CRTV to confirm this sad story. Well, like Jah said; All ye whom I and I created, death shall be your new beginning. So, courage man, woman, and child for the humbleth and meeketh shall prevail, even when death strikes.
All players of instruments, and singers shall see Jah. Rest in peace, good sister.

What a sad day and lost for all Cameroonians. Charlotte was a gifted and talented musician who moved the crow when she sings and dances with her great smile. Charlotte’s memory will always stay with us especially those of us who had the opportunity to attend her show. Beautiful and wonderful women she will always be. My sympathy goes out to her family and may her soul rest in peace. We will MISS Charlotte!!!!

moi je l'ai découverte pas sur konkai makossa mais sur une autre chanson:oa busa. je ne sais pas vraiment ce que cette chanson veut dire parce que je ne comprend pas le douala, mais une chose est sure,elle m'a marqué...pour que personne ne l'oublie jamais! repose en paix maman charlotte et que la terre de nos ancetres te sois légère.

I writing from USA. I met Charlotte in Paris years ago and she visited me often here in America. Her smile was infectious and her love and concern for educating children surpassed her passion for entertaining. I am shocked and saddened to hear just today, Sept. 1st of Charlotte's passing. If anyone knows her daughter or brother please have them contact me at [email protected]. May loaned Charlotte to us for a moment and she gave us all memories that will last a lifetime. And now she is back with him.

If all your good times pass you by
I don't hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
