The Meeting Legacy – The Artistic Face of Emilie Nana.
The Geneva based, Lyon born, Cameroonian descendant has immersed in this creative outpouring since 2012, the album slices together an eclectic selection, sharing much of who she is.

Comprising of 11 tracks, including, Like You, which was released on Compost Black at the beginning of 2013; at that stage her second release, and one of five EP’s Emilie Nana has shared with the world. I’m Childish, So What! also features, having first caught the attention of the music community in July 2015. This gem inspired by Emilie Nana’s nephew, is based on the idea, that even as we grow up, we should still be who we are at any matter of time. It is the only track on the album carrying a French vocal, and enjoys a moody, loopy, no rules feel; and is an absolute imaginative jewel. Recently three tracks featuring on this album encompassed a remix release package, namely, Tolstoy’ Changes, Music and The Meeting Legacy, remixed by Manoo, Beanfield & Thomas Herb.

The Meeting Legacy, the album title track is activism through music. Lyrically it draws from Elaine Brown, an American activist and artist who held the position of chairperson of the Black Panther Party. The bass on this slow stalking symbol of struggle is Nana-esque and the vocals come through with ease, poignantly positioning this track as the rebuilding of what feels like a “two-part” album.

Continually drawing on fiction and non-fiction, embodying the lived and informed experience of Emilie Nana, Black Like Me further enthuses this. A warm melodic creation, with the simplest of lyrics and marimbas bobbling in the background. Musically it is an interpretation of John Howard Griffin’s book, Black Like Me. Here he tells the story of a white journalist who undergoes skin darkening, to engage with black life in the segregated south of the United States of America. Emilie’s musical interpretation captures and embodies the colourful cultural expressions the white journalist encounters as he interacts with the black lived experience.
