Afro-Soul Machine

2011 two CD collection from the Cameroonian saxophonist and vibraphone player. For 50 years, Manu Dibango has been on the frontline of popular music. This is an amazing achievement, and even more so when you realize he can still simply be described as an 'instrumentalist from Africa'. How he's achieved this and some of the fruits he's given US along the way, is the subject of this release. Manu Dibango has never stayed still; whether on marimba, keyboard or saxophone and usually with his distinctively gruff vocals half-talking, half-singing, he makes his mark. Metro Select.
