Simon Agno Longkana, also known as Longué Longué the Liberator, was born in 1976 in Douala. From a modest background, he possessed a natural talent for hard work to achieve his goals.
A born and self-taught artist, Longkana took his first steps in music at a very young age. He learned to make musical instruments from recycled materials. Thanks to his rapid learning, his motto “In life, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger,” his belief, and his talent as a performer, he made contacts in the music industry. He began performing in cabarets in Yaoundé and won the Mützig competition organized by the breweries of Cameroon.
Already known to the public, he released his first album, “Ayo Africa,” in 2001, which was a huge success both locally and internationally. His stage name, Le Libérateur (The Liberator), was born from this album. In 2003, he released his second album, “Privatisation” (Privatization). Longué Longué is a source of inspiration for many with his songs drawn from his personal life and the abuses linked to neocolonialism and Western influence.
As the saying goes, a shooting star cannot stop, but it can be slowed down. This was the case for Le Libérateur, who in 2005 experienced a turbulent period with legal troubles in France. Nevertheless, Longué Longué did not let this discourage him and attempted to win back his fans and maintain his fame with his third album, “Examen de conscience” (Examination of Conscience). In 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015, he released his albums “Abas Judas,” “Child of God,” “Ne jugez Point,” and “Afrique unie, Monnaie unique,” respectively, which met with somewhat less success.
After this, Longkana went through some less glorious and difficult years in his career. In May 2017, President Djandjo gave him a fresh start through numerous concerts organized in the USA. The Liberator seized his opportunity and rekindled the hearts of his fans worldwide. He discovered other talents and passions, such as live streaming. Nicknamed the “Live Stream Man,” he holds the record for the most views over 12,000, also known as “Collectez-Vous!”
His new album is already available… Here is the first video from his album titled “Ne Brulez pas mon pays” (Don’t Burn My Country). The liberator has combined his culture with that of Americans, as you will see in this video, “Bolo Bolo Badem,” produced by Djandjo Enterprise from Washington, DC, USA.
