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".
