Musician
Multi-talented artist Njacko Backo was born in 1958 in Cameroon. He was raised in a very musical family and spent most of his childhood in a village called Bazou in western Cameroon. As a child, like most children in his village, he spent time making instruments, playing music, and learning the music of his ancestors. He studied drumming (toum and kak), kalimba (also called the thumb piano, however he plays with his fingers), percussion (various instruments), and an African harp called zaa koua.
