Solstice Sweetness: Children of Cameroon and "Jeux du solstice de décembre : Mbolo"

Today's random song is the product of the work of Francis Corpataux, an associate professor at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada. He traveled the world, visiting more than 25 countries, to observe and listen to children and teenagers in their daily lives. From his recordings, a number of songs featuring those children were compiled into a 17 disc collection called Le chant des enfants du monde. This song, Jeux du solstice de décembre : Mbolo, is a song for the December solstice and is sung by children in Cameroon. It can be found on Le chant des enfants du monde, Vol. 13 : Cameroun, compiled by Francis Corpataux and released on the Arion label in 2010.
