HAPE Collective and LowUp are proud to present Mutumbu & Munchon, an unexpected Afro European collaboration between Tchad based MC FTP and Italian producer, DJ and musician Go Dugong.
Both up-tempo rollers combine the conscious urban swag and ‘francam’ (French Cameroonian) lingo of young Cameroon born and Ndjamena-based MC FTP with Go Dugong’s production mixing traditional African balafon and drumming with thumping Afro-trap beats.
Mutumbu is Lain over a hypnotic balafon loop and synth reminiscent of 90s house, the song narrates the initiation rituals of traditional African society as a metaphor for the quest to face one’s inner demons.
Munschon (Joker) is a track where FTP resorts to his signature urban ‘francam’ dialect, celebrating hard work and talent as keys to success, your way to ‘pull the joker’ on your way to happiness.
