 CURRICULUM
Born in a rural, mountainous region of Cameroon, far from the center of African pop music, Prince Eyango`s talents were recognized at the age of seven when he began singing in the church where his father was a pastor. In addition to singing, by the time he was 17 he had mastered the intricate arpeggio guitar style practiced in Cameroon, and was already turning his attention towards updating makossa, the traditional Cameroonian music that had always been played with a slow, soft beat. In his compositions he started to mix typical folk tunes with funk and R & B and to write lyrics in French and English, while incorporating traditional Cameroonian languages as well.

In 1980, Prince Eyango started a small neighborhood folklore singing group. In contrast to traditional makossa groups, he included modern instruments and was influenced by international elements such as zouk and calypso. By 1982, Prince Eyango had revolutionized Makossa music by transforming it into a much more danceable form, and his group, Les Montagnards d`Afrique (the Mountain Dwellers of Africa), were performing nationwide. A move to Paris netted him a recording contract and access to state-of-the-art studios, which led to the creation of his biggest hit, "You Must Calculate," in 1987, when Prince Eyango was named "Best Artist of the Year," Cameroon`s highest musical honor, awarded by the Minister of Culture. By 1991 he had achieved a "Number One" music rating on the powerful, transcontinental Africa No. 1 Radio. Since then he has appeared in national as well as international circles in performances ranging from Afrique Etoile, Africa`s most prestigious musical TV show, to guest appearances on Radio France Internationale.

In addition to being the lead singer, guitarist and bandleader, Prince Eyango composes all the music and is the sole choreographer of the band`s spectacular dance routines. In the past 15 years he has released nine albums, and has performed extensively throughout Africa, Europe, the United States and Canada. Based in Los Angeles since 1993, Prince was nominated in 2000 for the L.A. Weekly Music Award in the World Music category, and the same summer, was called upon by respected pop music producer Don Was to record a track for Bette Midler`s album, Bette, where his impeccable guitar lines add a distinctive flavor to the song "Moses." With their compelling blend of upbeat music and fluid choreography, Prince Eyango and Les Montagnards d`Afrique captivate audiences wherever they go.
