Beginning his musical career in the 1950s, he travelled the world learning his art. However, it was the release of the worldwide hit “Soul Makossa” which propelled him to the World’s attention
Always ahead of his time, Dibango was always on the look out for new influences and sounds. Mixing Stax & Tamla styles with that unrelenting African percussion, and adding riffs ala Parker, Junior Walker and King Curtis to the mix, this collection begins in 1967, exposing some rare cuts from Dibango, focusing on the master musician's period of creative heights and finishes with the brand new storming dance floor filler DJ Flex mix of “Soul Makossa”.
