Martin KOUMS NDACHI is a Cameronian singer, author and composer living in Montpellier. He was born in a polygam family in Cameroun educated by his father, a preacher.

In Africa, building your life around music was impossible, so Martin KOUMS dreamt, like every other Cameronian children, to be a teacher. But he then realized that his real passion was music and decided to go to Gabon and started studying music seriously.

During his great adventure, he got to Montpellier in 1990 to pursuie his studies and start to live from his passion. And step by step, he founded some bands and choirs from Gospel to Africa music. Thus were born the "Gospel Rythm" ,"Africa Jazz Color" or "Gospel University Choir". 

I've met Martin KOUMS NDACHI in 2002. I was invited to come to one of the rehearsals of the "Gospel University Choir ". I was feeling great in this choir and stayed within until mid-2006.

Martin KOUMS already had a website, but it was a static one and he couldn't update the contents himself. So he asked me to rebuid his present website that allows him to update the contents without asking to someone else.

This is done using Joomla. Joomla is a great CMS that is very simple to use. I found it better than Xoops in lot of points. The most important point is that Joomla's control interface is simpler than Xoops and allows anyone with no HTML or PHP knowledge to update nearly everything in a Joomla Powered Website. 

Along with this website, I've added my own developped modules for the Thumbnails Scroller and a modification of the Dew MP3 Player.

A lot of work had been done to make the update process the easiest way possible so Martin KOUMS can do it by his own. His website now includes some audio and video files so his fans can listen and see him in action!

Martin KOUMS NDACHI is someone special and very funny when on stage. That's a reason to create a funny animated Flash introduction for his website.
