Manu DIBANGO

[method77]

'The lion of Cameroon'. Probably the most famous artist to ever come out of the Black Continent. Funk, soul, jazz. It's all there.

A good and short biography can be found here. A longer and more detailed biography sits here.

This is the ultimate cd where you can listen to all the genres he's played over his long career. 'Soul Makossa' is the track that made him really famous.

"Born of two antagonistic ethnic groups in Cameroon, where custom is dictated by the father's origin, I have never been able to identify completely with either of my parents. Thus I have felt pushed toward others as I made my own path"
