About the artist:
The artist Yabiru blends everything made with magic & sounds.
His music can be described as ambient, psychedelic, transcendental beats, exploring the journey of the true upward spiral movement.
About the Bamileke:
The Bamileke are a Grassfields people. They are the largest ethnic group in Cameroon and inhabit the country's West and Northwest Regions. The Bamileke are regrouped under several groups, each under the guidance of a chief, or fon. The Bamileke people are known for their very striking and often intricately beaded masquerades, including the impressive elephant mask. The elephant mask, called mbap mteng, is a mask with protruding circular ears, a human like face, decorative panels on the front and back that hang down to the knee and are covered overall in beautiful geometric beadwork including much triangular imagery. Isosceles triangles are prevalent as they are the known symbol of the leopard. Beadwork, shells, bronze and other precious embellishments on masks elevate the mask's status. On occasion, a fon may permit members of the community to perform an elephant mask along with a leopard skin, indicating a statement of wealth, status and power being associated with this masquerade.
