Manu DiBango
World renowned jazz-sax player. "Soul Makossa" was only a #35 hit in
the US in 1973, but it is generally regarded, along with Barry
White's "Love's theme", as being one of the first true disco
tracks to chart. David Mancuso used to play this track at the New York club The
Loft in the early 1970's.
For typical, good funky DiBango disco, listen to "Big blow".
