| |
| A sax-player, composer, singer, pianist and arranger, Manu Dibango |
| is Cameroon's best-known musician - most famous for his 1973 |
| saxophone-driven instrumental "Soul Makossa" - and one of a |
| handful of musical monoliths from Africa able to stand on equal |
| footing with superstars from Europe or America. Since the early |
| 1960s, he has been rolling out self-composed hit recordings in a |
| wide variety of genres including Congolese, Latin, West African, |
| Caribbean, funk, soul, cabaret, folklore, chanson, gospel, rap |
| and, the groove he made his own, makossa. The Rough Guide To Manu |
| Dibango has been compiled with the input, co-operation and |
| authorisation of the artist, and displays the full spectrum of his |
| work over more than forty years in the groove. |
| |
| "Manu Dibango is one of the greatest jazz musicians in the history |
| of African music, and this retrospective pulls 13 tunes from 26 |
| years of recording (1966-1992)... For a taste of the sound that |
| initially made him famous, check out "Makossa Blow" featuring Bill |
| Laswell and Herbie Hancock. The track is an update of Dibango's |
| 1973 monster Afrojazz/funk hit "Soul Makossa". For the past 40 |
| years, Dibango has been a guiding light for African jazz |
| musicians. It's high time we celebrate his contribution with such |
| collections as this one." Billboard, USA |
