Born in the Lékié region of Cameroon, Sally Nyolo left her homeland at the age of 13 to settle in Paris where she has lived since. Sally built up her professional experience from 1982, first as a backing-singer working with numerous French or African artists, and composing music for radio and cinema.

In 1993, Sally joined the group Zap Mama for their world tour. With Zap Mama she recorded the album "Sabsylma", and two live records (in Japan, and at Montreux).

In 1996, Sally Nyolo recorded her first solo album, entitled "Tribu" (Tribe), published by the Lusafrica Label. The album, awarded by Radio France Internationale, became a worldwide success, selling 300'000 copies.

After several other albums - "Multiculti" (1998), "Beti" (2000), "Zaïone" (2002) - Sally Nyolo finally returned to her native Cameroon, where she set up a studio, in the intention to explore and develop the local music scene. This effort resulted in the album "Studio Cameroon", published in 2006 by World Music Network.

Why So Lonely

by: Skeeter Davis

Why so lonely why is my world in such a spin
Now he's gone and yet I guess I still love him
Why so lonely why all this misery
I knew it couldn't last he never belong to me
If I'd been smart I would have never taken that second chance
He hurt me once before and now he's done it again
Why so lonely...
Why so lonely why so lonely
