African Voodoo

Description

Manu Dibango recorded the precious album *African Voodoo* in the same vein as its twin, *Africadelic*. Twelve masterful Afro Soul, Jazz, Funk, or Latin gems that have not aged a bit in over fifty years, and which delve even deeper into the dazzling discography of the genius saxophonist. The authentic material that makes up "African Voodoo," modestly described by the maestro as "slightly spicy mood music," was destined for a very different fate before becoming one of the most iconic albums in Manu Dibango's discography. As sublime as it is surprising, *African Voodoo* perfectly illustrates the "Afro Somethin'" Music invented by the maestro during a vintage interview with Rolling Stone. Soon after its publication, the term was adopted by all media outlets. A simple but incredibly effective description of the cross-genre style that Manu Dibango embodied through his music and his humanist discourse; a TRUE global citizen for whom music had no color.
