Déa Nam Gann (« the one who gives to the family in vain ») was born in the Baya tribe. They are fervent warriors who contributed to the refusal of French colonization in Bangui, Central African Republic.
Her father,a political refugee during the reign of Bocassa I , and her uncle ( a previous member of the U.N ) made Déa develop an obvious and urgent need to defend, in different ways, the stories that men came across with.
She will choose the means of music.
Thus, thanks to the character of Mamy Wata , the singer creates on stage a varied range of emotions that she was able to see and hear.
Mamy Wata can be diabolical, mysterious, fragile, ironic and sometimes a real warrior through her voice, her expressions and her dancing, on a music made of African atmospheres and French lyrics. She questions like a warrior and take you back to all the sorrows, all the doubts and all the joys that go through our lives.
In this way, Mamy Wata comes and flies from festivals to festivals carried away by rumours and word of mouth.
