“Some for The Makossa Man,” a celebration and glance at the world of afrobeat giant, Manu Dibango: a trailblazer whose music laid the groundwork for what would become disco and hip-hop. He passed away today from COVID-19. Rest in peace, Makossa Man.

Here are just a few records, from his otherwise enormous catalog of music. These have hardly left my bag over the last decade. Enjoy.

Some For the Makossa Man

His sound is filled with Deep Groove permeated with ethical sounds of drums and rare ancient instruments and vintage synths from 80-90th. sound of nature, the ocean, field recordings, caresses your ears with a pleasant organic sound, awakening in you the origins of the rhythms of human life.  And this "language" of music is understandable to everyone.
