A few days after releasing Ngeda (Live Session), Rose Black returned to Afrik.com to discuss the deeply personal origins of the song, which is sung in the bassa’a language. The Cameroonian singer explained how a period of intense online harassment led her to reflect on the memory of her late grandfather, Jean Henri Mahop, who passed away in 2007. She also revealed the significance of her father’s voice at the beginning of the track and outlined her vision for Voix Noire, an artistic project centered around themes of cultural transmission, language, and family history. The new version of Ngeda, published on October 2, expands on a track first shared in the studio in November 2025. This time, Rose Black’s voice is supported by backing vocalists, natural scenery, a vintage microphone, and a red Peugeot 404. Behind the carefully crafted visuals lies a deeply personal story. Ngeda is primarily a tribute to her grandfather, Jean Henri Mahop, and was inspired by a difficult time in the artist's life when she faced a wave of cyberbullying. A voice message from her father became a central element of the track, offering both comfort and strength. Rose Black explained that Ngeda was born as a letter to her grandfather, Jean Henri Mahop. She said the song was not inspired by a single memory but by a collection of recollections and a particularly challenging period. As a content creator, she experienced a wave of online harassment for expressing views that diverged from mainstream expectations. During this time, she felt isolated and turned to the memory of her grandfather, who had passed away when she was young. She described the song as an open letter, a prayer, and a conversation across time. She emphasized that she wanted to sing to her grandfather rather than about him. The voice of her father opens the track. Rose Black explained that this recording was born directly from the cyberbullying episode. At the time, her father sent her a voice message of support. She delayed listening to it out of fear of finding blame or criticism. When she finally heard his voice, she found immense strength and regained her confidence. Her father said, “It's war... don't give up... you have my full blessing.” This message became a guiding light, representing a blood duty passed down through generations. Symbolically, it was important for the track to begin with her father's voice before her own took over. She said it was the previous generation giving her the strength to move forward. Singing in bassa’a allows Rose Black to access a form of intimacy she does not find in French. As her ancestral language, bassa’a connects her to her roots. Even those who do not understand the language can feel the emotion through the sound, rhythm, and pronunciation. In French, she can explain her feelings precisely, but in bassa’a, she can evoke emotions before explaining them. However, she wants people who do not speak bassa’a to still connect with her songs. That is why she focuses on translation, subtitles, and context. She believes that emotion does not need translation. Voix Noire represents a blend of African heritage and modernity. Rose Black explained that the live session version of Ngeda aimed to give the track a more organic, almost choral and spiritual feel, thanks to the backing vocalists. Visually, the setting created a dialogue between different eras. The red Peugeot 404 symbolizes a vintage African imagination and collective memory. Her outfit, featuring a structured white jumpsuit with a military collar, a denim corset, and high leather sandals, represented a modern, avant-garde aesthetic. This contrast reflects the core of Voix Noire: the coexistence of heritage and futuristic modernity. She explained that Voix Noire was born from a desire to return to something deeper and more personal. Future songs will continue to explore this universe by combining storytelling, organic sounds, and contemporary elements. On stage, she aims to transform Voix Noire into a global experience, blending music, visuals, light, and movement. Ngeda is the first step into this artistic journey.
