Synopsis

Album Description
2009 two CD collection from the saxophone-blowing superstar of Cameroon who's been a major player in African and world music since the 1970s. Makossa Man delves deep into Dibango's incredible repertoire to offer the cream of his four decades plus career. With `Big Blow', `Sun Explosion' and 'Soul Makossa' (an influence for Michael Jackson's `Wanna' Be Startin' Somethin''), we present classic examples of the African-Disco sound that Dibango made his own. Makossa Man also shows how the so-called `Lion of Cameroon' mastered Afro-beat (`African Boogie', `Lagos Go Slow'), bad-ass Funk (`Pepe Soup', `Afro Soul' and `Walking To Waza'), highlife (`Ngolowake', `Soma Loba', `Ah Freak Sans Frie'), Latin Soul (`Ekedi') , Afro-Reggae (`Bolingo City', `Reggae Makossa') and cinematic-soul (`Dasiko'). Dibango's rise to superstardom has linked Africa, Europe and America in a hotbed of African Funk. 32 tracks. Nascente.
