Jose Lopretti - Candombe [COMPACT DISCS] date 12/26/2012

In the 70s & 80s he caused dance floors to shake when he took all the colours of contemporary sounds - soul, funk, disco and hip hop - and added them to his own Afro Groove; and by the end of the 80s in Paris, Manu Dibango had become the godfatherguardian of Black music. Between 1989 and 1992 he recorded his InchNegropolitainesInch cycle (it duly appeared in two volumes) whose concept was a focus on material from the African continent played by the top musicians in the French capital. The result was a celebration both festive and intimate, a ceremony where Manu himself was the High Priest. Afro-beat, high life, mbaqanga, soukouss, rumba (even the French Caribbean's Afro-biguine rhythms) would fly out of Manu's generous saxophone. His second 'Negropolitanes' disc received the equivalent of a Grammy in France (the InchVictoire de la MusiqueInch Award in 1993), and 'Papa Manu' was suddenly InchPope of World Music,Inch for both the general public and a whole new generation who promptly (re)discovered him. The labels Frémeaux & Associés and Soul Makossa are proud to join forces in re-releasing these recordings conceived by Manu Dibango. Album Tracks 1. Panafrican Jam 2. Diana Lama 3. Negropolitaines 4. Mpulimwamoni 5. Oh Koh! 6. Minuit Au Circuit 7. Aloko Party 8. Independance 9. Miango 10. Missiya 11. Mudied'asu 12. Longe Lese 13. Parfum Des Iles 14. Pavane Pour Melodie 15. Christmas Flash 16.
