    soulrocket groove says This song & candido "Jingo" were the first 2 african funk-jazz songs I ever heard. Now seriously, ivy-man. How much have you pay wassonii to push your post to 14 comments already? 15 counting mine.

    Hermes says I was just looking to find more of this guy as I only have one song of him named "Wouri", I found on the fabulous "Dancefloor jazz" series. And now look who's posting about him. On the other side, it didn't surprise me that much :). Have to get definively more from him. In "Wouri" the sax goes deeper than in any other song I know. You remind me in your attitude a lot of the best philosophy professor I ever had. Sinor Mongardi - a catholic priest and missionary, who lived a few years with Nahuatl indians and is now a high-ranked philosophy professor at the Jesuit university, where I studied during my time in Mexico. He was the greatest heretic I know, and at the same time the greatest humanist, never stopping to pronouce, that he is the lowest servant of us all. Of course, as a true Hegelian/Hegel follower he never used the word "god", therefore the heresy, at the same time living christian charity like no other. He's still fighting for the rights of the Mexican indians. And he's the only person I know, who compared the Hegelian three-way system - you know, all good things are three in western culture - with the four-way system of the Nahuatl. And the comparison was on the same level, neither system was regarded as better or worse by him, thereby respecting the indian view to the same degree as the one of Hegel. I think you would have liked him, though he's an heretic missonary and I guess you're more a kind of convinced christian. Just had to say that, 'cause the style of your last Saturdays bossa-nova post already provoced this impression in me. I hope that my "heretic" words in some posts, didn't harm you. I wanted to get priest myself many years ago, but never could find true conviction - therefore my agnosticism. I have deep respect for people who truly believe, if they live, what they believe. Keep it up.

    Spike says Thanks for providing an opportunity to finally check out "Soul Makossa," full-tilt kick-ass afro-funk that survives the test of time.

    Bartleby says A faker, I may be but even me was familiar with Manu Dibango. It's hard to believe that the man is still pretty muhc alive and kicking - having contributed to the score of French animation Kirikou. (Does anyboby know how much money he got from Michael Jackson who "borrowed" his makossa?)
