Manu Dibango was a Cameroonian saxophonist born on December 12, 1933 in Douala. With his musical career starting in Brussels and Paris in the 1950s, he originally trained in classical piano. In 1960, he became a member of African Jazz directed by Joseph Kabasele (Le Grand Kalle) and later formed his own band in Cameroon in 1963. Moving to Paris in 1965, he achieved international recognition with his breakthrough hit "Soul Makossa" in 1972. Sadly, Manu Dibango passed away on March 24, 2020 in France.

For the album Manu 76, we are - obviously - in 1976, still in Paris. Four years after his&nbsp;&nbsp;breakthrough on the international scene with his hit Soul Makossa, Manu assembled a&nbsp;&nbsp;prestigious cast of musicians including Jo Tongo on bass, Slim Pezin on guitar, Lucien&nbsp;&nbsp;Dobat (from Kassav) on drums, Alex Francfort on piano and 7-year-old Georgia Dibango&nbsp;as guest vocalist.&nbsp;This 6-track album traverses styles with ease, from the Soukouss Beats of Bokilo's Boogie&nbsp;&nbsp;and Qui est fou de qui? - Chouchou, to the Afro Boogie Jazz of the highly effective Mimbo,&nbsp;&nbsp;via the rousing Future-Jazz of Mouvement Ewondo or the melancholy Besoka On Salsa, to end in apotheosis with the Afro-Funk bomb Soul Angola. Unquestionably one of the gems in Manu Dibango's repertoire. You be the judge.
