MANU DIBANGO R.I.P. 1933 - 2020
Veteran Afro-jazz star Manu Dibango, fondly known as Pappy Groove, died on March 24, 2020 after contracting the new coronavirus, his representatives have confirmed. The 86-year-old Cameroonian, best known for the 1972 hit “Soul Makossa”, is one of the first worldwide stars to die as a result of COVID-19. “He died early this morning in a hospital in the Paris region,” his music publisher Thierry Durepaire said.

Some For The Makossa Man
“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. – Daniel T
