Eboa Lotin

Emmanuel Eboa Lotin (August 6, 1942 – October 6, 1997) was a Cameroonian musical artist who created music based on the style of Makossa, native to his home country.

Early life
Lotin was born in the city of Douala, in Cameroon. His father was Adolph Lotin Same, a Baptist pastor, who died when Eboa was 3. When he was a young child, his leg was paralyzed due to atrophy resulting from a quinine injection.

In 1962, Lotin recorded his first single "Mulema Mwam, Elimba Dikalo". Lotin was regarded as a major figure in the Makossa musical genre.

Lotin died on October 6, 1997.
