"These tracks were recorded between 1971 and 1975 by Manu Dibango for professional sound illustration for the cinema, television or advertising. They have never been released on disc and are therefore exclusive. Unfortunately, information is missing but Dibango remembers that his Parisian band then comprised Jacques Bolognesi, Ivan Julien, François Jeanneau and Slim Pezin. On the sides cut in New York, we can appreciate prestigious guests such as Buster Williams and Cedar Walton ('Lea's Love Theme') and even Tony Williams."

Catalog #:	FA 523CD

"The music Manu Dibango is known for its alchemy of jazz, African and Jamaican music, gospel and R&B. His unique style was the forerunner of what we now call 'world music.' Dibango is perhaps best remembered for his 1972 Afrobeat single 'Soul Makossa,' often considered the first disco record. This new best-of collection from Frémeaux features twelve tracks released between 1978 and 1989, including the 1978 Kingston remix of 'Reggae Makossa.' Guest artists include Michael and Randy Brecker, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare."
