Manu Dibango & The Soul Makossa Gang
Event 53 • Sunday 9 August 2009, 7.30pm-9pm • Venue: Market Hall
The Lion of Cameroon is a lover of everything from funk, hip-hop and cabaret to chanson, gospel and reggae; from Latin, Caribbean and West African rhythms to Congolese sounds and his very own Cameroonian derivative, Makossa Soul. At 73 Dibango is still wielding his colour co-ordinated set of saxophones, still rippling his hands over the length of a marimba/xylophone, still improvising melodic lines from behind his circular black specs. Above all else, he is a jazzman.
