		In 1960, Dibango was one of the founding members of the Zairean band African Jazz, with whom he spent five years.
		World attention came to Dibango with the release in 1972 of Soul Makossa, a work that actually had precious little of the makossa sound in it, and scored later hits with Seventies and Ibida.

	Funky16Corners: Manu Dibango - Weya (45 edit)
		Dibango’s 1972 ‘Soul Makossa’ was a huge international hit, spawning cover versions and rip offs all over the world (it hit the US top 20 in the summer of 1973).
		When he hit with ‘Soul Makossa’, Manu Dibango had already been performing since the mid 1950’s, in France and Cameroon, originally as a jazz musician, and eventually fusing jazz, pop and African sounds.
		A tune like ‘Soul Makossa’, with Dibango’s driving sax and chanting was as hard, funky, and danceable as anything coming out of the US during the same period.

	BBC - Radio 3 - WOMAD 2003 - Manu Dibango and Ray Lema profile
		Manu Dibango left his homeland of Cameroon to cut his teeth in the steamy jazz world of 1950s Brussels and Paris, following the trail scouted by his musical heroes Duke Ellington, Lester Young and Charlie Parker.
		Pursuing a burning hunch that African jazz could be taken to a higher level, Dibango went solo and recorded the classic "Soul Makossa" in 1972 which went stratospheric and became the first Francophone single ever to hit the upper reaches of US charts.
		Since then Dibango has released seminal Afro-jazz albums like "Negropolitaines" Vols 1 & 2 and "Wakafrica", performed with stars too numerous to mention, written an autobiography and generally mellowed into the role of an elder statesman of African music.

	Recording review: Manu Dibango (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		On Mboa' Su, the 67-year-old Manu Dibango returns to his musical roots, back to the night clubs of Cameroon, returning to the youthful energy that lives timelessly on his older recordings.
		Although Dibango crosses nicely to Afro-Cuban style, as on "Maya Ma Bobe," or American gospel, like "Sango Yesu Cristo," he feels right at home with Franklin Boukaka's "Aye Africa," or "Weya Mouna." His tribute to the late Fela Kuti, "Big Blow," is respectful, accurate, and fun.
		While Dibango could easily rest on the success of his past works, he continues to earn respect by re-launching his career in new directions.

	Manu Dibango : Waku Juju - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		In 1982 Dibango was pretty far from both Cameroon's traditional music and his modern version of it, in which he used rock organs and a heavy beat.
		This is a style that Dibango masters well, and the result is a record more suited for the lounge than for the dancefloor.
		This is a good work of world fusion, with fusion seen as both a generic and a cultural term, but it is not one of Dibango's most interesting albums, or the album to buy if you're looking for dance tracks.

	Manu Dibango : Afrovision - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Dibango displays his virtuosity on vocals, saxophone, percussions, and keyboards in a set that attempts to pick up commercially where Soul Makossa ended.
		Most recording artists releasing albums in the late '70s included a disco tune, and Dibango is no exception; "Big Blow," a mighty slab of African funk, is his contribution to the style.
		The title cut "Afrovision" is the most unusual cut; the rhythms are different, complex, and indigenous to Dibango's West African roots.

		Or "Lili," which starts off on a nostalgic rumba slow-grind that sets you up for a quick Congolese-style soukous shift, only to deliver a kickin' New Orleans rhythm that would not be lost on the Meters.
