Dibango is Cameroon's, and perhaps Africa's, best-known
jazz saxophonist. Starting in the 1950s, he became a
globe-trotting musician, living and performing in France,
Belgium, Jamaica, Zaire, and Cote d'Ivoire, as well as in
Cameroon. In 1960, Dibango was one of the founding members
of the Zairean band African Jazz, with whom he spent five
years. World attention came to Dibango with the release in
1972 of Soul Makossa, a work that actually had precious
little of the makossa sound in it, and scored later hits
with Seventies and Ibida. Dibango's output has been
prodigious and multi-faceted. He has worked with musicians
as diverse as Fela Kuti, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare,
Don Cherry, and the Fania All-Stars. In addition to being
one of the leading jazz saxophonists of his generation,
Dibango has also run nightclubs, directed orchestras, and
started one of the first African musical journals. A later
release, Polysonik -- featuring English rapper MC Mello,
Cameroonian singer Charlotte M'Bango leading a choral
section, and sampled pygmy flutes -- shows that Dibango is
continuing to flourish and expand in challenging new
directions.
