Soul Makossa et moi abons 50 ans cette ann\u00e9e et il n\u2019y a pas de hasard. C\u2019est ta chanson, elle a fait r\u00eaver toute une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration et je suis fi\u00e8re de la reprendre aujourd\u2019hui. Merci Papa Dibango pour ton sourire, pour ta gentillesse et ton humour Manu Dibango Almost three years since you left us. You took me under your wing, you made me grow and paves the way for me. You invited me to share the stage with you at Jazz \u00e0 Vienne, at Marciac, and even at the Casino de Paris to celebrate your 50 years career. Soul Makossa and I are both 50 this year, and so it&rsquo;s no coincidence. It was your song, it made a whole generation dream and I&rsquo;mproid to civer it today. Thank you, Papa Dibango, for your smile, your kindness and your great sense of humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MANOU GALLO tribute to MANU DIBANGO SOUL MAKOSSA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cameroonian musician and composer Manu Dibango passed away on March 24, 2020 at his home in France, an early victim of Covid&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22388,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[482,269,253],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fiigures-sawa","category-musique","category-personnalites-fr","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22387"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60664,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22387\/revisions\/60664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mboasawa.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
