Manu Dibango - Soul Makossa

Manu Dibango's Soul Makossa brings the Cameroonian saxophonist's rhythmic drive and melodic flair into sharp focus. African dance rhythms, jazz phrasing and tough funk grooves run through New Bell, Hibiscus and the instantly recognisable title track.

It's a record built around the interplay of percussion, bass and horn lines, with plenty of space for Dibango's characterful saxophone.
