<p>Manu Dibango was a Cameroonian saxophonist born on December 12, 1933 in Douala. With his musical career starting in Brussels and Paris in the 1950s, he originally trained in classical piano. In 1960, he became a member of African Jazz directed by Joseph Kabasele (Le Grand Kalle) and later formed his own band in Cameroon in 1963. Moving to Paris in 1965, he achieved international recognition with his breakthrough hit "Soul Makossa" in 1972. Sadly, Manu Dibango passed away on March 24, 2020 in France.</p>

"Afro-cuban : that term which set the world on fire, from rumba to boléro, mambo to cha-cha-cha, before salsa, that 70's spicy sauce, took over from the others. But to speak truely, since the mists of times (of slavery), both Africa and Cuba aim to vamp that umbilical cord. The most recent example, CubAfrica, a record born from the reunion of a master from Africa and this very living institution from Cuba, during a show around Albi (in the south of France) where they were both headlining in spring 1996. Manu Dibango's sax melted perfectly with the rural music of Eliadès Ochoa and his Cuarteto Patria, here's the beginning of an idea.
