Gaboneco oliver ngoma biography

Oliver N'Goma is probably the best known Gabonese singer, as his afro-zouk hits have been (and still are) extremely popular in large parts of Africa. Especially his early hit « Bané » is a well-known song on the dance floors, although people probably not always know that the singer comes from Gabon, a country that has not been able to export its music to other African countries nor outside the continent.

In 1971, he entered the Orchestre Capo-Sound, together with singer François N'Gwa, during this period he started playing guitar and composing his first songs.

After a brief period where he was part of a group called Kounabeli he was recruited by the national television as cameraman.
