KO-C, Kameni & AWU “Together”
“Together” is a collaborative song by Cameroonian artists KO-C, Kameni and AWU, bringing together three distinct voices from Cameroon’s contemporary music scene. The track appears as Track 15 on KO-C’s GENESIS album, a 17-track project released in March 2023.
The collaboration places AWU’s distinctive Kossa-Fusion-inspired sound alongside KO-C’s rap and Afropop approach and Kameni’s melodic Afropop style, creating a meeting point between different generations and expressions of contemporary Cameroonian music.
The Collaboration
“Together” stands out within GENESIS because it is one of the album’s collaborations centered entirely on Cameroonian artists. KO-C brought Kameni and AWU onto the record, adding two complementary voices to his album and expanding the project’s musical range.
The track is listed consistently across music platforms as “Together – KO-C, Kameni & Awu”, with a runtime of approximately 3 minutes and 31 seconds.
Part of KO-C’s “GENESIS”
“Together” forms part of GENESIS, KO-C’s major studio project that showcased his versatility across Afropop, Afro-fusion, Amapiano, Hip-Hop and other contemporary African sounds. The album contains 17 tracks and features several prominent African and Cameroonian artists, including Sarkodie, AV, Falz, Victor AD, Longue Longue, Kameni and AWU.
Its position near the end of the album gives “Together” an important collaborative role within the project, following songs such as “Family Problem” featuring Falz, “Time” featuring Victor AD and “Paola” featuring Cameroonian legend Longue Longue.
AWU’s Contribution
For AWU, “Together” represents another important collaboration within his expanding catalogue. By this stage of his career, he had already established himself through records such as “Yayayo,” “Sidomina,” “If A Can Can” and his debut album Sounds of Heritage.
His appearance on “Together” further demonstrates his ability to work across different contemporary African sounds while maintaining the vocal identity that has become associated with his Kossa-Fusion direction.
The song also sits alongside several other notable collaborations in AWU’s catalogue, including appearances with Stanley Enow, Mic Monsta, Witty Minstrel, PHIDO and other Cameroonian artists.
A Meeting of Contemporary Cameroonian Sounds
The strength of “Together” lies in the combination of three different artistic personalities. KO-C contributes his established rap and Afropop identity, Kameni brings a melodic female perspective, while AWU adds his characteristic vocal presence and Cameroonian musical influence.
The collaboration reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of Cameroon’s contemporary music industry, where artists from different musical backgrounds come together to create records capable of reaching audiences beyond their individual fan bases.
