Lorenoare sings at Int'l Decade of African Descent

The Cameroonian artist, Lorenoare was invited to perform at the launch of the International Decade for the people of African descent. This is an honour to Cameroon and the Eton language.

On the occasion of the international day of human rights, the young woman rendered a thrilling performance. It is with music that the International Decade dedicated to the people of African descent. This was done with the song "Pupuma" (dove), a song in the language Eton by Lorenoare, dedicated to peace and freedom.

The choice of the young artist is not trivial. As the author of albums '100% ' and 'Minyon"(crying), she stands for Africa's oral tradition. She loves the culture, which she describes as sincere, rich and pure as gold. "We have our language, we must retain and seek to enrich it even more," she said in an interview with CT.

According the United Nations, "approximately 200 million people considering themselves as Afro-descendants live in America. Millions more live in various parts of the world, and outside the African continent.

"According to Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General," people of African descent are among the most affected by racism. "Too often, they face denial of basic rights such as access to quality health services and education."

The United Nations report also revealed that individuals of African descent worldwide are, among the poorest and the most marginalized population, whether as descendants of victims of the transatlantic slave or most recent migrants.

According the findings and studies by national and international organizations the people of African descent continue to have limited access to education and health services of quality as well as housing and social security.
