Grace Eboué

Conscientious Music

Writer, musician & motivator. Grace Eboué is a talented artist who has just released a single "A SANGO'A MBOA", from her next album dedicated to the history of the so-called Black people. Bantu people's muse, she revisits certain parts of the poignant history of her country Cameroon all on rhythms such as Afro beat or Makossa, to which she brings a singular touch making them accessible on the world stage by the quality of her sounds tooled with craft. Meeting up online around a chat Grace Eboué was kind enough to grant us 5 minutes of interview during which she told us a little more about her person and her art.

Hi Grace and thank you for giving us these 5 minutes of talk.

Grace Eboué: Oh, it's so much fun! Thank you for wanting to talk to me!

So, you are an art muse, if I understand correctly, however after having studied and worked in another field what led you to the path of music?

It is true that I studied accounting and I worked in the banking and financial sector, which is very far from music. In fact, it's a sad event that led me into music. Indeed, my mother who was the founder of a well-known choir in Cameroon left this world after a long illness.
