About
Manu Dibango (Emmanuel N'Djoké Dibango, December 12, 1933 in Douala, Cameroon-March 24, 2020 in Paris, France) was a Cameroonian saxophonist and vibraphone player. Leaving Cameroon to France to study, he got to study music where he enrolled for piano lessons. Though a piano student, Manu fell in love with his friend and classmate's instrument, the saxophone. Not having a keyboard at home to rehearse his music lessons, he spent time using his friend's saxophone which has today become his longest companion.
