FRANCIS BEBEY

How many great African musicians were also great writers? Francis Bebey (1929 - 2001) of Cameroon certainly bestrode both genres. He attended the Sorbonne (France), and was further educated in the United States. His most popular novel was Agatha Moudio's Son (Translated from the French)

His published books include: Le fils d'Agatha Moudio (1967) -  La poupée Ashanti (1973) ie The Ashanti doll; Musique de l'Afrique (1969), Embarras & cie,  Le ministre et le griot,  Le roi Albert d'Effidi, and Nouvelle saison des fruits (1980)
