Manu Dibango (born 12 December 1933 in Douala, Cameroon) is a Cameroonian saxophonist and vibraphone player. He developed a musical style fusing jazz, funk and traditional Cameroonian music. He is a member of the Yabassi ethnic group, though his mother was a Duala. He is best remembered for his afrobeat single “Soul Makossa”, often considered the first disco record.
Biography
Early life:
Dibango was born Emmanuel Dibango N’Djoké at 11:00 PM WAT (10:00 PM UTC) on 12 December 1933 in Douala, Cameroon. His father, Michel Manfred N’Djoké Dibango was a civil servant. The son of a farmer, he met his wife travelling by pirogue to her residence, Douala. A literate woman, she was a fashion designer, running her own small business. Both her ethnicity, the Duala, and his, the Yabassi, viewed this union of different ethnic groups in a poor manner. Emmanuel had no siblings, although he had a stepbrother from his father’s previous marriage who was four years older than him. In Cameroon, one’s ethnicity is dictated by their fathers, though he wrote in his autobiography, Three Kilos of Coffee, that he has “never been able to identify completely with either of parents.”
Dibango’s uncle was the leader of his extended family. Upon his death, Dibango’s father refused to take over, as he never fully initiated his son into the Yabassi’s customs. Throughout his childhood, Dibango slowly forgot the Yabassi language in favor of the Duala.

Just read in the New Yorker that "Soul Makossa" is where Michael Jackson got the ending refrain for "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"... Wow!

ah, i see, no, this is not afrobeat. if you listen, it can't be confused : afrobeat (like fela kuti's music) is african funk with it's typical upbeat groove. dibango's style is swinging like herbie hancock's soul jazz.
