Cameroon-born saxophonist Manu Dibango brought warm and groovy afrobeats and afrojazz to the whole world, as he crossed many geographical and musical borders. Musically active since the 1950s, he will forever be remembered for his 1972 hit ‘Soul Makossa’,

Manu Dibango Essentials

Viens Ma Belle - Pierre Vassiliu

Second single via Brussels-based, Brazil-inspired duo Tapioca is “Melodia,” a splash of pure funk-infused tropical vibes. Instantly catchy, the song is full of highs; punchy horn & string stabs, fluttering guitars, synths & impeccable harmonies - the latter courtesy of lyricist Le Tagarel - all held together by the warmth of the Rhodes keys and crisp percussion courtesy of producer SiKa, the track showcases the duos potential.
