Wamen

Wamen takes her name from her grandmother: in 2016, she inherited her first name and chose to carry her memory on stage.

Franco-Cameroonian, she grew up in Cameroon until the age of 16 and draws from this dual culture a rich musical identity, nourished by Henri Dikongué, Jacques Brel, Lady Ponce, Édith Piaf, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone.

A lover of words, she trained in literature, theatre and artistic production, before the need to set her lyrics to music came naturally. Wamen tells stories of love, often broken, as mirrors of a generation and its wounds, with direct and poetic writing.

With Discipline, which has become a genuine anthem, she asserts her strength and identity while denouncing a sexism that has now become commonplace.

Her project RE (17 August 2025) marks the end of a cycle and opens the way to a profound sense of peace, carried by an artist of great sincerity and supported by a loyal and committed community. On 2 October last, she released her first album, Vie d'Adulte.

The album explores the doubts of an entire generation, the fear of not being enough, of not doing as well as the generation before and of passing generational traumas on to the next. This pursuit of success, by the way, what does it mean, to succeed?

It is the testimony of a young adult who is searching for herself, who repairs, who loses. Track after track, we grow up with her. Everyone can find themselves in her lines, because in the end, we are all a little alike.

After selling out La Maroquinerie in just a few hours, Wamen will perform in Toulouse on 26 March 2027
