amf.didiermary.fr/manu-dibango

From the album Past Present Future, released in 2011, “Elolombe” means “dove” (colombe) in Duala language, and refers to the bird that symbolises peace.

“A forward-in-all-directions effort from the masterly Manu Dibango, who at 78 is still committed to trying out new ideas, still experimenting and collaborating on what happens to be his thirtieth album. […]

“It's meee!”

For the children of the leper colony visitors are few. This small village on the outskirts of the small town of Mbé in North Cameroon is a safe haven for former leper patients.

As a show of support fighting the stigma hitting people treated and cured of leprosy are unclean and 2nd class fellow humans, our travel group visited the isolated small village.

We were warmly welcomed and showed around, and photographs were taken. Modern digital cameras with screens showing the results immediately were a popular novelty.

It was the Norwegian doctor and scientist Gerhard A. Hansen that identified the origin of leprosy and developed the first modern treatment. Modern medicine can effectively eradicate this 4000-year-old curse to humanity, but there are still some regions of the world where it exists in the wild.

This colony got a few new patients from the surrounding region every year. After treatment and cure, many former patients are not welcomed back to their former villages. They stay in this small village, where they get health follow ups and can do some farming and home handicraft for sale.

The children attend school in the village.

Photo shows a group of young children being showed recently taken photos of themselves by a photographer in a light summer hat. In the centre one of the kids are pointing at himself and mouthing “it is a photo of me!”. The other children are focused on the screen of the digital camera, except for a young lady who is looking at the photographer with a surprised look. In the background there is a bright sun lighted farmland.

A young lady and her chick

Or a chic chick with a chick, if you like.

The open market in the small town of Gadjiwan, Cameroon, is the largest in the area. It is under 50 kilometres to the Nigerian border. People come from far and wide to trade.

And of course, in the right age, to look for new friends.

Being foreigner in a market like this far off the tourist area means everybody knew we were visiting. The fact that we had a trail of children different ages following us around made it even more difficult to blend in.

This lady had a younger brother in our ad-hoc entourage, and he was obviously very proud of her. So, he took me over to her trading spot, urging me to take a photo. She would not let a photo op get in the way of her trading chicken.
And that suited me fine.
The young brother had all reason to be proud, I would say.

Photo shows a lady around 20 years of age posing with a chicken on her left arm. She has a dress in local pattern with strong colours and a head band in the same pattern. A shawl in bright yellow green covers her head and shoulders, and she is holding the shawl under her cheek, framing her face. In the background there are other people, motorbike and market activity, and in the even farther background there are rolling, forest covered hills trailing off into å lightly blue sky.
