After a grueling tour of North America with Paul Simon in 2016 with this memorable performance on June 1, 2016 at the Mythical Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Vincent Nguini between the interludes of long tours will release June 15, 2017 a single entitled Bol in Prelude to his next album, a last prescient notes where in Beti Ewondo language, he invokes the music of the country, and wonders if he really knows what's out there on the other side? Very attached to his fold, in his last chorus he also asks the question of "who owns this", while epilogizing on the futility of the things of life. He may have expressed his anxiety about the
