DON ChaeuLe released his first official single '''Wokolo''' Prod. By Dhefils
Daniel Richard Assako popularly known by his stage name DON ChaeuLe is
a Cameroonian who was born in Limbe and he hails from the South West
Region of Cameroon. He attended his primary, secondary and higher
education in CS Buea Town, Bishop Rogan College and University of
Buea respectively. He spends most of his life in Buea albeit
commuting to Douala and Yaounde.
Music had always been in him ever since his secondary school days
in Bishop Rogan where he earned the stage name he currently uses:
DON CHAEULE. He wrote his first song in 2004 and equally had a
couple of unreleased tracks from the period 2008-2010.
He worked with the likes of Alo J, Samuel Lee and Lynx in
the now defunct Rogan Kings Studios in Molyko.
He travelled to the United Kingdom in 2013 to pursue a MBA in
Finance from the University of Gloucestershire. He obtained the
degree in 2015. He worked for some time with a finance firm in
London as a cashier and equally did some administrative work with a housing agency.
Around the month of April 2016, after his birthday, he started
reflecting and realised that his place was not in the office.
He got bored of figures as they gave him little satisfaction.
He still had a humongous passion for music and started nursing
plans on how to get a career out of it.
In August 2016, he decided to go to the studio and record his
debut singe titled ‘WOKOLO’. The beats was made by Edi Le Drae
from Cameroon and the song was produced by Dhefils a Congolese
sound engineer based in the UK.
Don ChaeuLe has created his own genre called Afro-Decale which
is a fusion of Afrobeat, coupe-Decale and Bensikin rhythms.
Because of his love for these three different sounds, he
decided to blend them in one and make good music.
‘WOKOLO’ is a reflection of such music, it is a song of celebration
and it is very danceable. ‘Wokolo’ which is a word used mostly
by people from the east and centre regions of the country can
be loosely translated to mean, ‘OMG’ or ‘WOW’. While ‘YAYATO’
which is a word from the western region but very common all over
the country is an exclamation of joy. For the purpose of the song
the word ‘YAYATO’ will mean congrats or well done. Putting the two
words that constitute the chorus together, ‘WOKOLO YAYYATO’ will
mean WOW WELL DONE or ‘OMG’ CONGRATS. It is an exclamation of
happiness and joy. The song has a danceable rhythm and catchy
lyrics with some comic relief served as punch lines. He sings in
Pidgin-English, Mboko and French. Hope you enjoy the song.
