Born in cosmopolitan Yaoundé, Kareyce Fotso has crafted a contemporary African repertoire deeply rooted in the Bamiléké culture of her region. With GWÀ, the Cameroonian singer delivers a powerful album that gives voice to women’s stories, narratives often silenced, passed on in whispers, heavy with pain yet brimming with immense strength. By exploring history and memory, she revives the Gwà, an ancestral circle where women gathered to speak, support one another and rise together. A space where words protected, healed and transformed.
With GWÀ, Kareyce Fotso turns women’s testimonies into song and transforms the stage into a space of liberation. GWÀ is more than an album or a concert. It’s a fight carried by the voice, a call to awareness, an unapologetic refusal to normalize violence. A hand reaching out to those still hesitant to speak, a voice for those who have never been heard. GWÀ isn’t just an album, nor simply a concert. It’s a profound, human and essential experience. One that moves you, connects you, and stays with you long after. Because breaking the silence already saves lives.
A concert at The Faculty
The Faculty is no ordinary concert venue. This Flemish Neo-Renaissance building, constructed in 1892 to house Cureghem’s great veterinary school, has lived through over a century of history before being carefully restored. The original parquet floors, the mouldings, the mosaic tiles, all preserved. Tonight, music fills the former proclamation hall, on the building’s magnificent upper floor. A venue just outside the city centre, and well worth the journey.
