Free Music Notes for Wakafrika
Free Music Review: RootCaly Wonderfull
Hit: 5 Stars
I grew up listening to and seeing Manu Dibango every Friday in Ivory Coast. The man has a groove and tempo in his music that is just hypnotically entertaining. In this particular album he brought in other heavy Weight Champions like Youssur Ndour, King Sony Ade who just take the beat to RootCaly Wonderfull hemisphere. I love it!!!!

Wakafrika Poster
Cameroon expatriate Manu Dibango's Wakafrika is arguably the most catholic African album ever recorded. Where else could you hear a Nigerian juju guitarist (King Sunny Ade) team up with a jazzy Cameroon saxophonist (Dibango) to perform a tune by a Benin composer (Wally Badarou)? The guest list goes on. And on. Peter Gabriel (remaking "Biko"), Youssou N'dour, Salif Keita, Sinead O'Connor, Angelique Kidjo, Ladysmith Black Mambazo (doing--what else?--"Wimboweh"), Ray Lema, Toure Kunda, Papa Wemba, and Geoffrey Oryema all pop up at various times. A buttery French production, Wakafrika isn't a bad album, necessarily; Dibango is a smooth, popular homogenizer of afrobeats galore. But it's so predictably diverse as to lack any identity other than its own heavily produced veneer. --Richard GehrDance & DJ Music CDs
