Origin & history
Makossa grew out of Cameroon's coastal Douala region as a guitar-and-horn dance groove built around a heavy bass line.
Manu Dibango's 1972 hit “Soul Makossa” carried the sound to the world, becoming a global hit and shaping music far beyond Cameroon. It's often mentioned alongside Bikutsi, a faster, percussive style historically tied to the Beti/Ewondo people around Yaoundé.
