How can you open up to the world and at the same time remain yourself through music? The answer to this question would be worth an Oscar. But Phillbill, whose real name is Diyani Bill Munyenge, has already answered it. If there is one Cameroonian artist who has best succeeded in embracing urban music while remaining rooted in classic Cameroonian rhythms like makossa and assiko, it is Phillbill.
This is why, true to its credo of celebrating Cameroonian culture in all its grandeur on an international scale, Challenge Camerounais is rolling out the red carpet for Phillbill, a bandleader, beatmaker, songwriter, singer, choreographer and producer at this edition.
Phillbill will be the headliner of the Challenge Closing Night on Sunday, 28 May 2023 in the hall of the Georg-Gaßmann Stadium in Marburg. Make a note of the date!
On Sunday 28 May 2023, from 10pm, discover an exclusive live show by Phil Bill and the best sounds from Africa and the world by DJ Louda (Paris) and DJ Air Force (Belgium) on a large dance floor and in the exclusive VIP area. Elegantly decorated, with a sound system worthy of an opera house and a unique atmosphere, the organisers have chosen the hall of the Georg-Gaßmann Stadium in Marburg as the setting for this prestigious evening.

DISAPPEARED
Between taboos, discrimination and customs, albinos too often remain on the fringes of society, relegated to that level by prejudices relayed by others. This feature film, quite singular in the way it conveys its message, brings a different perspective on albinos in particular, and on all discriminated people in general. The main character, Vanessa, an albino living in precarious conditions with her parents, is illustrated by a strong personality, an iron will to pursue her dreams to the detriment of her social condition and the injustices she has suffered. His motto: Resilience.
