The song Konkai Makossa by Charlotte Mbango contains a mix of Cameroonian Makossa rhythm and French lyrics. The song is a tribute to Chouchou, who could be interpreted as a dancer or a woman who is in the business of pleasure. In the lyrics, Mbango sings about the allure of Chouchou and how people cannot resist her charms. The repetition of "Wa nde fatigué (fatigué fatigué)...Wa nde fille de joie, fille de joie é to wanga" highlights the darker side of Chouchou's life, indicating that she is a sex worker who is tired of her job but has to continue doing it.
Throughout the song, Mbango also sings about the Konkai Makossa dance, which involves vigorous body movements and is accompanied by a vibrant tune. The track is characterized by the blend of traditional instrumental sounds like the Lingui and drums with modern musical elements. The mixture creates a lively, upbeat sound that is perfect for dancing. The chorus, "Konkaï Makossa pas deux, we mbamba éé Chouchou mba," means that there is only one Konkai Makossa dance, and it belongs to Chouchou.
The song Konkai Makossa by Charlotte Mbango is a classic Makossa track that combines traditional and modern music in a unique way. The lyrics tell a story of a woman who is caught up in the world of pleasure and prostitution, while the rhythm transports listeners into the energetic and lively world of the Konkai Makossa dance.
