Princess Vinia

Princess Vinia (Born Mbivwong Virginia Birlaf) is a female ethno-traditional-folk music artist from the Nso tribe of the north west region of Cameroon. Her lyrics are generally topical, with antiphonal structure, guided by repetitive and progressive percussive rhythms, with soothed baseline and rhythmic guitar lines.Her grace and vibrancy projects the rich ethnic music from Nso. Her serene vocals resonate with her flair of cultural displays and glamorous stage presence. Princess Vinia started music at her early age in secondary school choir and was also a member of the Nso Bahti women association choir where she honed her passion and skill for african folk music. A graduate in Music Performance from the Lionz Academy for Arts and Entertainment, and signed to the renowned Cameroonian label, Lionz Muzik, Princess Vinia has metamorphosed into another dimension, a force to recon with in the rich cultural indigenous sound genre. Princess Vinia see’s herself and her projects as a culmination of many years of cultural historical experiences and past events depicting the true identity of the people of Nso and the beauty of human cultural diversity.
