Thin coverage. No Douala artist or collective is on Pulse yet, so this page holds what the research could source and nothing more: the tempo is an estimate and the venues, where any are named, carry the date of their newest evidence. If you run a night, a label or a collective in Douala, or you know one, write to [email protected] or use the Collaborate page; a link to a set and a photo is enough to start.
