This little Online Radio presents you the three most popular music types in Cameroon.

1. Coupé Décalé
2. Makossa
3. Bikutsi

Coupé Décalé actually doesn't come from Cameroon but Côte d'Ivoire. Iit is very popular among young people. You can't miss it as you find people dancing to this special beats everywhere in the streets, on the bus, whereever.
But also the music of Cameroon is among the most popular in Africa, especially makossa, a popular dance rhythm you'll hear blaring out of clubs and discos. Makossa is adaptable to a wide variety of instrumentation, from traditional thumb pianos to guitars and synthesizers. Manu Dibango brought the style to international prominence in the early 1970s; now Sam Fan Thomas is the king of makossa. Another popular dance music is bikutsi, typically sung in Ewonde.
