" "Unfortunately, it's not an African scene... The most important scene for me was the scene where I played with Maceo Parker , James Brown and there were more than 70,000 people in front of us. They bought all my CDs and at the end of the concert, they took off their t-shirts and asked me to sign on their bodies with permanent markers. The scene happened in Denmark. Another unforgettable memory was in Belgium when I saw children paint their hands blue and they made a line from the stage to the dressing room to wait for me. While I sang in Eton, in Fang, in our languages, these children shook their hands to tell me that I had given them the opportunity to think that there are no colors among humans. Culture has no color, it's the vibration that we give to the other that counts.

Additional quotes by Sally Nyolo
I like wearing clothes which fuse elements of different cultures. I'm not just "Africa" today, you see, I'm a world melting-pot! It takes me an hour to get ready for each performance. I like to take the time to do my make-up and choose which materials I'm going to wear on stage. The way I see it, music's not just about sound, it's also about stories, paintings, perfumes and colours. You don't just listen to music - you breathe it, you taste it and you enjoy it visually! When I'm on stage I love constructing a décor for my songs which helps transport the audience into another world.

I'm currently in the studio working on a new album. But I'm in Cameroon to fight against child marriage. I've been a UNICEF ambassador since 2016, and since then, I've been very active in Cameroon to fight against child marriage, to meet with artists, and above all, to carry out a major undertaking: the production of a musical, in order to reach out to the public through institutions.
