Greetings to all my most devoted readers and music fans worldwide. Let’s welcome Cameroonian artist Salatiel. On June 1, Salatiel released a powerful celebration of beauty, rhythm, and identity with his song and video “Fine Pikin”. Let’s talk more about this song and video

The song opens with an intriguing melody and the video begins with a baby, being christened, who is lifted to the sky, and when presented to the sky, the sky lights up with lightning. This gorgeous video features ten dazzling models, dressed to the nines, each of them dressed in vibrant and bold traditional African hairstyles and vibrant, colourful costumes. The parade of these women is a passionate tribute to the everlasting beauty and fortitude of African women.

This video is the very essence of the phrase “black don’t crack”, it insinuates that we are born beautiful and do not need to work too hard or dress too much to look classy and beautiful. Every look reveals a tale about heritage, pride, and identity. Salatiel is at the centre of it all, dancing with them and singing delightfully and seamlessly, blending into the cultures in current, high-concept fashion designs. His futuristic yet African-inspired clothing provides a fresh, creative edge, demonstrating that tradition and innovation can coexist in perfect harmony.

With its dramatic imagery, the official music video for “Fine Pikin” features vibrant colours, energetic dancing, and modern dress inspired by African traditions. This video, created by international stylist Briss Toukam Yetmou, celebrates modern African design by combining traditional history and contemporary flair. Every frame honours the concept of “Fine Pikin” – beauty that glows from within and radiates out. This includes vivid set designs and trend-setting styles. Don’t miss the chance to discover “Fine Pikin” a music that celebrates our rich and gorgeous culture and women

With cultural depth, and a message that uplifts and empowers, “Fine Pikin” is more than a music video—it’s an artistic statement, a celebration of our culture, and a reminder that our culture can be classy and a showstopper. A million thanks to Salatiel for celebrating us and our culture. I had a blast listening to this song and watching this video. I can’t wait to hear more music from him
