Cameroonian singer Kareyce Fotso gives a voice to the untold stories of women on her new album Gwà! New CD on Contre Jour!

Cameroonian singer Kareyce Fotso gives a voice to the untold stories of women on her new album Gwà. Rooted in Bamiléké culture, breaking the silence becomes an act of resistance. Gwà is released as a CD in a digipack with a 16-page booklet on the Belgian label Contre Jour.
Born in cosmopolitan Yaoundé, Kareyce Fotso has created a contemporary African repertoire deeply rooted in the Bamiléké culture of her region. With Gwà, the Cameroonian singer presents a powerful album that amplifies the stories of women--narratives that were often silenced, whispered, full of pain, yet carried immense strength. By exploring history and memory, she revives the Gwà, a traditional circle where women came together to speak, support one another, and grow collectively. A space where words offered protection, healing, and transformation.
With Gwà, Kareyce Fotso turns women's testimonies into songs and the stage into a space of liberation. It is more than an album or a concert. It is a struggle carried by the voice, a call to awareness, a clear refusal to normalize violence. A hand extended to those who still hesitate to speak, a voice for those who have never been heard. It is a profound, human, and essential experience--one that touches, connects, and lingers long after. Because breaking the silence already saves lives.
