Photo by Jen Bell. Used with permission from freemuse.org.Lapiro de Mbanga, known as Ndinga Man meaning Guitar Man, died of cancer in the United States on March 16, 2014. The Cameroonian protest singer, social critic, political activist and general spokesperson of the downtrodden had been granted political asylum there in September 2012 after serving a three-year sentence in Cameroon for his alleged role in the anti-government riots in February 2008 – charges that were widely considered to be politically motivated. He was 56 years old. News of de Mbanga’s passing began as an online rumor. Within hours, however, it was confirmed that he had died in in a hospital in Buffalo, New York. OMG!! So it is really true?! Even his Wiki page has been updated. Mourning soon turned to anger, chiefly directed at Cameroonian President Paul Biya's regime. Friends accuse Biya govt of refusing Lapiro treatment for cancer he contacted while in jail which led to his death in the US today. Il s'agit d'un acte criminel de la part des autorites camerounaises. Lapiro est mort d'une maladie qui avait ete detectee des sa premiere annee en prison… Un ordre explicite avait ete donne de ne pas le soigner. This is a criminal act carried out by Cameroonian authorities. Lapiro died from an illness that was detected as early as his first year in prison… An explicit order was given not to give him treatment. Lapiro was informed of this while he was behind bars… By the time he came out of prison and finally made it to the US, it was already too late to save him… Incidentally, Lapiro was set free because Cameroonian authorities knew the truth about his illness and did not want him to die in prison. Nguni’s claim was not new. In fact, de Mbanga himself had said as much during a May 2013 interview [fr]. It is no longer a secret, after Lapiro, that the government of Cameroon has specialized in administering death to its most formidable political opponents and dissidents, using prison as the slaughter house or as the transit station “en route” to the grave. We also now know that denying medical care to prisoners is not just negligence. It is part of an assassination plot, meticulously executed. Even before Jacob Nguni’s revelations, Cameroonians were already pointing an accusing finger at Biya regime. Paul Biya must be very happy man this evening, with the news of #LapiroDeMbanga‘s death. Lapiro De Mbanga – Fogoh Mawoh: I have not stopped playing this music. . Biya and his associates will pay someday. The outpouring of grief for de Mbanga was widespread. Sa mort me touche, son sacrifice, son combat , sa vie , son oeuvre l'elevent au rang des heros de notre cher pays. His death affects me, his sacrifice, his struggle, his life, and his works elevate him to the rank of a hero in our beloved country. Thank you for sharing your life with the world through you music – proud to share a country with you. Wt a cool new street speak that cut across social class and spoke truth to power, #Lapiro quickly became a national treasure. Many of the tributes to Lapiro were written in his unique brand of Cameroonian Pidgin English, also referred to as Mboko Talk. #RIPLapiroDeMbanga – ndinga man, ndon man, the ‘very very', man for complices dem… we go di mimba you. Go fo befo… all man mus meng. Guitar man, cool guy, the ‘one and only’, man of the people… we will remember you. Lead the way… every person must die. Peace l'artiste. J'ai appris a causer pidgin en ecoutant tes chansons. Lapiro de Mbanga don die? Waaah mama ma. Dis life na nothing oh. So Lapiro de Mbanga is dead? What a pity. This life is nothing. Who will now give us the good talk? Or, who will speak directly to the government? Rest in peace old guy. Lapiro de Mbanga Ndinga Man e mandat don bole today for Etaz! Erreur or no erreur die na ndos! Waka nayo Ndinga man. We go di follow ya 4 chapters di listen ya mutumbu until we own mandat bole. We go di mimba you tara! All man must go one day … RIP. Lapiro de Mbanga Ndinga Man’s life ended today in the United States! Error or not, death is a thief! Go in peace Ndinga Man. We will follow your four chapters and listen to your songs until the end of our own lives. Tributes also came from the myriad of international groups that had worked with de Mbanga at different times in his career. RIP Lapiro de Mbanga, Cameroon's musical freedom fighter: http://t.co/KmbR0LOEO0 Watch his beautiful Oslo talk here: http://t. That de Mbanga, known as the people’s champion, died in exile was particularly galling to many Cameroonians. You've got to question yourself as a country when you persecute your own children and they die shortly after in exile. Today a mighty giant in the fight for political space and freedoms is fallen and more so on foreign shores without the opportunity to wave a last farewell to his fellow compatriots — a people to whom he had given so much and meant so much in his youthful activist days. Our ancestors must be asking: what have we become, and where are we headed as a people? May Lapiro's ideas, wit, energy, vivacity and sense of patriotism endure forever. De Mbanga did not just die in exile; he will not be buried in Cameroon, and instead his body will be cremated [fr]. These were his last wishes – a major blow to his fans in Cameroon who, according to the state-owned CRTV, “have been crying out for the remains to be brought back to Cameroon so their hero can be given a befitting burial”. La plus grande erreur de Lapiro etait de donner consigne qu'on l'enterre aux USA. Lapiro etait note hero et le peuple camerounais avait besoin de voir et de recevoir son corps au pays. Vraiment le refus d'aller au pays avec le Corps de Dinga Man me choque. Lapiro’s greatest error was to demand he should be buried in the United States. Lapiro was our hero and the Cameroonian people needed to see and receive his corpse at home. Really, the refusal to take Ndinga Man’s corpse home is shocking. This was de Mbanga’s last act of defiance against a regime noted for hijacking the funerals of its staunchest opponents – some whom it pushed to an early grave – and using them as platforms to garner political legitimacy. After decades of never-ending police harassment, including the sabotage of his means of livelihood such as the burning down of his nightclub in Mbanga… after three years in prison… it is instead “Ngatta Man” [prisoner], as Lapiro renamed himself after his time in the big house… who, even in death, is having the last laugh, by denying the regime in Yaounde the never-ending affixing of medals of honor on those it kills. In the end, the “sheriff of the backyards” who drew his strength from the warmth of the downtrodden in Cameroon will paradoxically end up in the distant US – without the massive farewell that his “complices” or partners-in-crime in the streets had hoped for. Nonetheless, he will forever be in their hearts.
