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

The African man talking to his people through the language of music something that is understood whether or not you understand the Douala Language. Don't try to shake your body to the rhythm cause you will find yourself lost to the different twists and turns of the instrument arrangements. Rest in peace the great Manu Dibango of Africa.

This is like getting home as fresh as I was when as a kid, my elder ones would play, dance and discuss this song merrily. I came up on net searching for it but never did, not knowing the title. You cannot imagine what a thrill it was for me to stumble on it right now! The very best of African songs

Emeka Odita

same thing happened to me. i only discovered it last year from the 80ies

ACHOLONU CHUKWUEMEKA You went through almost the same experience like me in relation to this track!

Mohamed Bah

Decades have gone by but memories of this song are still strong. Sabanoh and Sacoma Social Clubs and the Court Barrie in Songo, Sierra Leone. Maylah Bangura, Sonny Cole, Oju Martin, Fatmata Lamboi, rest in peace guys!

Que de souvenirs doux...cette mélodie passait beaucoup selon moi l'apres midi à 14 h sur la radio nationale, avant le générique de "lunch on day", nous signalant notre retard, quand nous allions à l'école l’après-midi ( "la mi-temps") à 14h...école principale de Bépanda Omnisport; et la canne à sucre qui embaumait toujours fortement l'air à l'entrée et dans la cour de l'école...provenant des étales mobiles sur roues ou brouettes des commerçants ambulants de canne à sucre..5 f, 10 frs,
15 frs, les plus gros morceaux à 35 frs...et avant de sortir de la maison l'estomac un peu serré de devoir quitter le cocon familial en retard..si doux apres un bon repas

I was a prolific Ajasco and Makossa dancer in my kiddies days. I still dance to Makossa rhythms because it uplifts the soul. Thanks to the 7th wonders of our generation - the Internet superhighway. God bless all Makossa lovers
