About Song (SEO about 300 words: break into small paragraphs with subtopics)
Through this song, Nsay ki la sought to animate the year-long celebration, running from 2021 to 2022, and to help music lovers to pray the jubilee prayer. Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Kumbo celebrated this jubilee in the middle of pain and hardship, due to the ongoing war in the North West and South West of Cameroon (Anglophone Crisis).
It is for this reason that a song like this came in handy, to cast some ray of light and hope in communities being gradually overshadowed by gloom. The song has a pure and natural feel, using local, traditional instruments such as balafons (xylophones), gongs, drums (congas), shakers, and so on. The mixing and digital mastering was done by Dijay Kay gives it a special sweetness.

The Catholic Diocese of Kumbo in the Ecclesiastical Province of Bamenda, Cameroon, was erected by Pope St John Paul II on Thursday, 18 March 1982, with territory taken from the then Diocese (now Archdiocese) of Bamenda. It is a Diocese of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Kumbo is a suffragan Diocese of the Metropolitan See of Bamenda along with the Catholic Dioceses of Buea, Mamfe, and Kumba. We hope that this music livens up the celebration and that the images nurture nostalgia for a once peaceful and vibrant community before the war.
HAPPY RUBY JUBILEE! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
