Makossa
Cameroon's bass-driven dance groove
Makossa क्यामरुनको तटीय दुआला क्षेत्रको बेसमा आधारित रमाइलो नाच्ने लय हो, जसलाई Manu Dibango को सन् १९७२ को हिट गीत “Soul Makossa” ले संसारभर प्रसिद्ध बनायो। यसलाई प्रायः Bikutsi सँगै चर्चा गरिन्छ, जुन परम्परागत रूपमा याउन्डे वरपरको अझ छिटो तालवाद्य शैली हो।
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.
