Translated into English, the essence of the song revolves around “come and pick me up” which is reflected through
the feel-good and positive soundscape. Despite its upbeat tempo and soul-inspired vocals, the song
became a shining light at a dark time for Bachot, who wrote the track after his divorce in 1995. ‘Loh
Yonme’ was recorded in 1998 and released the following year. Only two weeks later, the song would
become a major hit, staying in the Cameroon charts for the next decade, winning two awards,
including Best Singer. ‘Loh Yonmeʼ was so successful it became more popular than Cameroon’s
National Anthem, with its makossa influences and soulful, uplifting mood winning over fans.
The BM-Remix pays tribute to all the much-loved elements of the original track while bringing a
contemporary and fresh twist. The remix still holds the heartwarming ambience of the legendary
track, which makes listeners want to dance, sing and move their bodies. Bachot’s music is spirited
and vibrant, a reflection on Bachot himself, spreading love and happiness through his songwriting.
From a young age, Bachot Muna knew that music was meant for him. While he was still in school,
he discovered his impressive vocal range. His musical journey began with a band named Man-Walk.
This sparked a need to further his skills and he developed his craft as a sound engineer and
producer, reaching success with his fourth album ‘Africa Sa’. More recently, Bachot has been
involved in writing the soundtrack ‘A Day’s Good Nightʼ for the American movie ‘In The Blackest
Night Outʼ, which will be released at the end of June 2021.

‘Ndutu O Mulema’
Jazz artist, songwriter and music producer, Bachot Muna returns with his latest single 
‘Ndutu O Mulema,’ an upbeat and charismatic track that reflects Bachot Muna’s spirited 
and bright personality. ‘Ndutu O Mulema’ follows in the footsteps of his last release 
‘Mbana Wema,’ writing from the heart and soul.
Inspired by the people surrounding him, Bachot Muna found his latest inspiration 
through the pain of a family struggle. “I wrote this song due to the sadness I feel from the 
behaviour of one member of my family. This person is causing a lot of trouble to herself 
and to all the family, and even as the family stands with her to help her overcome the 
behaviour that is harming her, she is unable to see the efforts the family is doing for her.” 
‘Ndutu O Mulema’ translates to ‘pain in my heart’ and the sentiment of this is felt in the 
pain of his family’s concern.
Despite the sorrow of the lyrical content, ‘Ndutu O Mulema’ channels the sadness of the 
song into positive instrumentation, turning the darkness into light with upbeat rhythms 
and feel-good melodies. An uplifting sensation kicks off the song with elevating piano 
and rhythmic percussion that plays around with salsa rhythms encouraging listeners to 
dance. The melodic vocals of Bachot Muna are a welcomed delight, accentuated by the 
bouncing accents of brass instrumentation, and choral backing vocals. The optimistic 
soundscape of ‘Ndutu O Mulema’ feels like the perfect cure for a time of pain and 
frustration, becoming a part of the healing process. This groovy and irresistible track can 
shake off the blues for any listener

NDUTU O MULEMA

Following the success of his charismatic release‘Ndutu O Mulema’and afro jazz track ‘Mbana Wema’, which has accumulated over 21,000 streams on Spotify alone, the jazz artist and producer Bachot Muna is set to release his upcoming single ‘Mukonge the Frog’ Inspired by an African legend. Bachot Muna uses the art of storytelling and tradition to connect with listeners.

“Mukonge the Frog’is all about an African legend, full of meaning, messages and African wisdom.”explains Bachot Muna. The song tells the story of a frog, dressed in a suit, who goes to court with his friend, the toad dressed in tie against the woman. Proud of their appearance, money, power and confident demeanor, they’re shocked to find the judge rule in favor of the woman. The moral of the song is to avoid vanity and stay humble, because we all live and die the same. Power and money will not protect you or keep you from death’s door. 

Accompanying the African legend is the sonic fusion of jazz and dance music. Building the foundation of the track is the electric organ and piano, underpinned by a bass guitar and a buoyant rhythm throughout. Bachot Muna’s vocals ascend on the track, weaving the folktale through jazz infused instrumentation. As ‘Mukonge the Frog’ continues, it adopts a contemporary style rhythm section that uplifts the song with further vibrancy and energy. Featuring two geniuses of African music: Rene Calvin on the Bass, and Djubebe Kalume on the guitar. 

Bachot Muna has always pushed boundaries and experimented with his creativity. He grew up with music, learning to play the piano by innovatively drawing a keyboard on to paper to teach himself. Through memorizing melodies, he was able to develop his skills as a musician, when he would later join a band called Man-Walk. Alongside this musicianship, he became a sound engineer and producer, which enabled him to create his fourth album ‘Africa Sa.’ 

Whatever project Bachot Muna undertakes, he does so wholeheartedly, bringing his listeners together through spirited songwriting and colorful compositions, and ‘Mukonge the Frog’ is certainly no exception.

Mukonge The Frog

Afro jazz artist Bachot Muna might be known for his songwriting, but it’s his storytelling that lies at 
the heart of his music. Taking inspiration from his own life, or exploring folktales, such as his 
previous single ‘Mukonge the Frog’, Bachot Muna tells the story of love in his upcoming single ‘A 
Lili’. Staying true to his signature feel-good sound, ‘A Lili’ radiates joy and passion. 
“A Lili’ is the story of a man who has always had an idea of what love represents. For him, love is 
true, constant, selfless, real and deep,” says Bachot Muna, explaining the seed which planted the 
idea for the song. “It happens to each of us at any age to dream of this kind of love. A Lili is, 
therefore, a form of incantation of true love, pure love, sincere and deep love which endures 
everything and bears everything, supporting each other in any situation in life.”
The tale delves into lyrical explorations, cleverly binding both lyrics and music. Bachot Muna’s 
inspiration for the track came from the Greek word ‘Agapi’ which means affection, love, 
tenderness and devotion in all aspect of life, while the word ‘éros’ resembles the love of the body, 
desire, romantic and sensual love. ‘A Lili’ strives to unite these two symbolisms. “Words have 
their meaning and knowing the meaning of the words gives depth and fullness when we 
pronounce them while being aware of their bearings,” Bachot Muna further explains. 
The production of ‘A Lili’ is just as fulfilling as the song concept, with playful piano melodies, 
rhythmic afro beats and vibrant brass instrumentation. Bachot Muna’s rich, distinctive voice leads 
the song, full of expression as the story unravels. The dynamic track is upbeat and bright, inviting 
listeners to tap their feet and fill their hearts with love. 
A musician since childhood, for Bachot Muna music has always been a companion. Teaching 
himself piano through innovative memorizing skills, Bachot Muna formed a band with his friends, 
before developing his skills as a sound engineer and producer. Now, based in Brussels, his career 
has been spirited; releasing albums, winning awards, and performing at shows such as the 
Montreal Jazz Festival. Bachot Muna fuses together his native rhythms with an array of genres to 
create Jazz Afro Fusion and connect with his audience through the language of music and 
storytelling.

A Lili

Poeme de l'aventurier

At dawn, I leave my home.
I leave it in search of adventure. Ehh 
I am this poor miserable wretch
I am this man to whom, life has taken everything
I have no family, and no friends.
My one, and only companion is my dark shadow.

(in the morning he lies down in front of me, 
only our feet cross and touch.
we walk along the alley, again and again)

On either side of my path 
stand vast, opulent estates.
we walk along the alley, again and again.
Suddenly the sound of stainless steel on porcelain and not my shadow under me 
reminds me that it is mid-day.

(And I, the poor wretch, continue my walk, 
my walk in search of adventure.
Soon my shadow lies behind me, 
only our feet cross and touch).

We walk along the alley, again and again.
On either side of my path, 
stand houses with thatched roofs, 
and crumbling walls, revealing the interior.
A woman approaches me, yes me.

(She hands me a basket and some fruits,
Suddenly another woman gives me some meat.
I receive some bread, but also some wine. Ahh ahh)

Soon my shadow is not there anymore.
I find a shelter where to spend the night.
I am like the birds of the sky,
I have no plantations but I live 

I live thanks to the goodness of God 
and the kindness of other wretches, like me.
Like me, like me, and yes like me
