Manu Dibango (Emmanuel N'Djoké Dibango, December 12, 1933 in Douala, Camero… Read Full Bio ↴Manu Dibango (Emmanuel N'Djoké Dibango, December 12, 1933 in Douala, Cameroon-March 24, 2020 in Paris, France) was a Cameroonian saxophonist and vibraphone player. Leaving Cameroon to France to study, he got to study music where he enrolled for piano lessons. Though a piano student, Manu fell in love with his friend and classmate's instrument, the saxophone. Not having a keyboard at home to rehearse his music lessons, he spent time using his friend's saxophone which has today become his longest companion. He developed a musical style fusing jazz and traditional Cameroonian music. He is a member of the Yabassi ethnic group, though his mother was a Douala.
He has collaborated with many musicians, including Fela Kuti, Herbie Hancock, Bill Laswell, Bernie Worrell, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Sly and Robbie. In 1998 he recored the album CubAfrica with Cuban artist Eliades Ochoa .
His Soul Makossa is often considered the first disco record (Jones and Kantonen, 1999). Prominent and loved by his country, he just celebrated his 50th musical anniversary in Cameroon, where he was greatly supported by the wife of the president of Cameroon.
Manu Dibango was the sole African who exposed African traditional music to the western world. His style took the world by storm when the American superstar, Michael Jackson took Manu's Soul Makossa which featured in Jackson's album in You wanna be startin' Something.[i/] This same hit today vibrates the music chart which featuresAkon. Obviously, Jackson lost the suit and had to pay the African Saxophonist for Damage.
He has influenced so much Africans and buyam sellam has been modeled in an eclassified. cameroon jobs,accomodation, www.buyamsellam.org

Cameroon's once priceless Music, now lost in a swam of music fevers.
- this is the results of laborious hours of research, by eye and by ear.
-------------------------------
The Cameroonian who single-hardedly changed the sound of world music. #ManuDibango Manu Dibango - Officiel
How?? When??
- why the fall in Cameroon Music (jump to bottom)
- How Manu Dibango's AFROJAZZ style was used in producing THRILLER.
-------------------------------
Emmanuel N'Djoké Dibango (born 12 December 1933) is a Cameroonian musician and song-writer who plays saxophone and vibraphone. He developed a musical style fusing jazz, funk, and traditional Cameroonian music. His father was a member of the Yabassi ethnic group, though his mother was a Duala.
I will proof to you tonight that Michael Jackson did not only steal once from Manu Dibango, he stole the new style Many Dibango had developed.
The Afro Jazz. (1970s)
Afro jazz is the backbone of Michael Jackson's epic music THRILLER. It is not different from what Manu Dibango did had done 5 years earlier before Thriller was produced.

Many Dibango is the allegedly the pioneer of Electronic, Trance Music.

the cover art of the album (below) is not different from the subject matter of Electronic Music cover arts today. Though the pace present electronic music is faster, the evidence is still there to hear.

This is Cameroon Music, the AfroJazz, thats been taken from us...This is one of those genres we have to go back to!!!
This till today is the music desired by the upper class, the aristocrats. Remember, Many Dibango spent most of his career playing for the Rich Upper class world wide.
Its not an overstatement, to say then our present context in music is nothing but a disgrace, becos if we continue like this, in 20 years, cameroon's music will be nothing but a noise in a collection of bad noise signals....There is no artiste today, of our generation, 25-below, who can host a concert or a show made up of the upper class who enjoy good music.
And if Cameroon has failed in Music, it is becos our Government did not value our music and build music schools, so that we can be taught this genre which is ours. It is despicable that, our music pioneers, were one or or another chased from cameroon.
How could the cameroonians be instructed this genre which is always in high demand among the upper class.
When we compare the past and the present, we see that Cameroon music sold higher in the past, and its past artistes are today highly venerated. They are the last artistes who play for the aristocrats. Why, becos the Cameroon genre of music is elevated. When they die, who then wil replace them?? M**LHOX??
For this reason, we see that the government is the cause of this problem. NO MUSIC Schools to document and teach our music!!
The youths are therefore pronouned NOT RESPONSIBLE for the failure of music in CAMEROON under popo!!!
We are a special People in Music. Our Music!!
All of the cameroonian remaining artistes who sing at the top stages of world music, were bred in AHIDJO's idea of a great society!
There were music schools here in Cameroon. And special students were sent out to study. Music bloomed then!!
A blackman will always be outwitted and not given credit. While a whiteman who stole the idea, is then brought up as the piooner. This is the slavery the blackman lives in.

Triste journée passée à tenter de ne pas vouloir admettre , accepter . Saleté de virus !. Bon voyage Manu , et merci , un grand merci . Nous ne t'oublierons pas et nous t'écouterons toujours , surtout le 24 mars de chaque année . Mes condoléances attristées à tous ses proches dans la peine .
@guyetundi5501
Repose en paix cher frère. L´Afrique et le monde de la musique ne pleure pas aujourd´hui mais te célèbre. En Afrique on ne meurt pas on est juste parti. Hey Manu! Rien de plus beau que d´être confiné à la maison avec ta musique. Les crises et les guerres passeront mais ta musique restera.

Manu Dibango. Seit ich seine lebensfrohe Musik das erste Mal hörte, bin ich begeistert. Leider ist er von uns gegangen. Doch durch seine Musik 🎶 ist er unsterblich. Eine Bereicherung nicht nur für die Musikwelt. Gut, dass es ihn gab. Ein Geschenk 🎁 auch für kommende Generationen. 😊💞💞Manu Dibango. Ever since I first heard his lively music, I've been hooked. Unfortunately he is gone from us. But through his music 🎶 he is immortal. An enrichment not only for the music world. Good thing he existed. A gift 🎁 also for future generations. 😊💞💞

C'est à travers le titre Chouchou, un pseudonyme de ma petite soeur, que je l'ai connu. Et depuis là, je suis devenu un de ses admirateurs. A l'époque, on connaissait le Cameroun à travers cette icône mondiale. l'humilité et la simplicté qui ont été tes maximes les plus importants nous marqueront. Nous disons merci à Dieu de t'avoir créé. Retourne auprès du Père avec le sentiment d'avoir tout accompli. Va en Paix.
