Manu Dibango
1972 · Paris, France
Afro-Funk

Dibango's sax and that thick, popping bassline are doing the same job "Soul Makossa" would do a year later — funk built from a Cameroonian foundation instead of an American one. The horns here get more room to stretch out than on his more famous singles. This is dance music first, and it doesn't apologize for it. If you like your afro-funk loose and horn-heavy, start with the title track and don't stop.
