MANU DIBANGO


Manu Dibango is a saxophonist who originally came from Cameroon, but has spent most of his career recording in France.  He's also one of my favorite artists of all time.  The sheer volume of his work is staggering, but my favorites are "Negropolitaines, Vol. 2", "Gone Clear" and the classic release - "Soul Makossa".  Today's selection is the title tune from "Soul Makossa".  This is a 1974 performance and is a very good example of Manu Dibango in all his furious glory.
