Description
François Essindi, is an actor, dancer, storyteller and musician, was born in Cameroon.
Due to his ability of playing the percussions, he became very quickly famous in his own country. His playing attracted attention thanks to the energy he mixes with the delicate phrasing of his touch. Thus, he became the recourse that cannot be ignored for the new wave of local artists and singers in Cameroon, who wished to reuse the Tam-tam call, the Mvet, the Snail shell…. That had been banned from the popular Cameroonian music.
The leader of Otoubalka demonstrated soon in France the artistic gifts he had already proved in his native country. , Brought up listening to old music and culture , today in Paris he refines the art of Traditional Harp from central Africa, the Ngomo in Cameroon as well as his playing the Mvet, another endangered string instrument, as well as Ngomo or Ngombi .
A storyteller from the Bulu world, François Essindi is more than ever an Artist, who never stops exploring new ways through his writing that might have been lost forever, innovating at the same time the approach and the quality of Cameroonian rhythms.

LA BELLEVILLOISE
Monument ou site - Monument ou site privé - Administration S'abonner aux offres de l'organisme : Intérêt architectural : « La Bellevilloise » est une ancienne coopérative fondée en janvier 1877 par vingt ouvriers et qui fonctionnera jusqu'à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son but était de fournir aux plus défavorisés des produits alimentaires et d'autres marchandises de base à des prix abordables. La formule connaissant un grand succès, elle comptera jusqu'à 9 000 sociétaires en 1912 et une vingtaine de succursales dans le 20e arrondissement. Elle développera également des activités sociales, culturelles et politique. L'immeuble du 19-21 rue Boyer a été construit en 1909-1910 à côté du siège de la coopérative. Dénommé « Maison du Peuple », il abritait notamment une boutique et un café, une salle des Fêtes et des salles de réunion. Jean Jaurès y organisait des rassemblements politiques. C'est aujourd'hui un lieu qui accueille des tournages de films et différentes manifestations culturelles.
