Manu Dibango won a Grammy Award for his song Soul Makossa.

Famous Cameroonian saxophonist Emmanuel N'Djoke Dibango, popularly known as Manu Dibango, has died of coronavirus.

He died on Tuesday morning at a hospital outside the French capital, Paris.

The 86-year-old jazz musician had last week announced on his Facebook page that he had contracted the coronavirus.

He is best known for the 1972 hit Soul Makossa.

I consider Manu Dibango to be one of the 4 great legends of African music. The others are Fela Anikulapo-Kuti of Nigeria, Hugh Masekela of South Africa and Miriam Makeba also of South Africa.

Manu Dibango's 1972 classic, Soul Makossa, was a worldwide hit and he won a Grammy Award for it.

Michael Jackson stole a portion of the song for his hit "Startin Something" and Dibango sued him, but the matter was settled out of court. Michael Jackson then granted Rihanna the right to use that portion of the song in her hit, "Please Don't Stop The Music" and Dibango sued both Michael and Rihanna.

He has been based in Paris, France since at least the 1970s.

If i must be honest; 99.973% of those who will show sympathy here truly do not care.

I don't care too, because I have more important things to care about.

There is no legend in Africa. If there was, we won't still be groping in the dark.
Back in Nigeria ... All past and present politicians should be stripped of all National merit Awards. None deserves it, they all only looted and destroyed Nigeria to the useless extent we see today.

God will have to health the Land, we have no capacity to handle this coronavirus , even the rich is just catching it easily

From the 40 case reported so far , I believe like 95 percent of them will have over 5million in there account (that why they can easily travel around the world) if this coronavirus cross over to the poor it will be a more serious thing

So beginning to take more precautionary measure

If by Friday we get to 65 Case then we should be planning and praying for the worst

May God heal Nigeria

Where is God when we his "so called" children need him? Italians and the Chinese are dying like rat's but God don't care.

There is nothing like Heaven and Hell!!!
Bible is just a fictional story!!!!
Fuvk every body that will shout and give offering, tithes and foolish praise to God after our wonderful scientists discover a cure for this virus.
