06 - Oh Koh.flv

Classic from the great Manu Di Bango(Yes Funke Davies it is your song enjoy) for listening pleasure no copyright infringment intended.

[@tawehjallah7982]

The African man talking to his people through the language of music something that is understood whether or not you understand the Douala Language. Don't try to shake your body to the rhythm cause you will find yourself lost to the different twists and turns of the instrument arrangements. Rest in peace the great Manu Dibango of Africa.

[@Jamluji]

Greetings from Toronto! I find it absurd that I couldn't listen to this kind of music growing up. But now I love it. I guess with age comes with understanding

[@united46]

Better late than never. Now u have beautiful journey ahead of you

[@florendouh]

TON SAXOPHONE ET TA VOIX FORTE VONT NOUS MANQUER A JAMAIS. RIP LE GRAND MANU!

[@mauriceihebale5934]

This is a song that makes Manu Dibango evergreen in my mind. Thank you for taking us down memory lane !!!

[@kentolistic]

What a big relief when I finally stumbled on this song on KZbin. I used to listen to it as a little boy when father used to play it and also on our local station (Radio Rivers 2 FM Stereo in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. I didn't know the title but later got to know the name of the Artiste as Manu Dibango.

[@ernestpaul8826]

I was a prolific Ajasco and Makossa dancer in my kiddies days. I still dance to Makossa rhythms because it uplifts the soul. Thanks to the 7th wonders of our generation - the Internet superhighway. God bless all Makossa lovers

Rest In Power brother! Africa will miss you

[@tangabiang5282]

Que de souvenirs doux...cette mélodie passait beaucoup selon moi l'apres midi à 14 h sur la radio nationale, avant le générique de "lunch on day", nous signalant notre retard, quand nous allions à l'école l’après-midi ( "la mi-temps") à 14h...école principale de Bépanda Omnisport; et la canne à sucre qui embaumait toujours fortement l'air à l'entrée et dans la cour de l'école...provenant des étales mobiles sur roues ou brouettes des commerçants ambulants de canne à sucre..5 f, 10 frs, 15 frs, les plus gros morceaux à 35 frs...et avant de sortir de la maison l'estomac un peu serré de devoir quitter le cocon familial en retard..si doux apres un bon repas

REPOSES EN PAIX GRAND MANU QUE LA TERRE DE NOS ANCÊTRES TE SOIT LÉGÈRE MERCI POUR TOUT CE QUE TU AS POUR L'HUMANITÉ

[@allenjaber3994]

Oh koh really hit me hard as a lyoungster in the 70s. Thank you papa Manu dbango

[@kofiamporful6843]

Rhythm....thanks Manu. You've made your mark. Farewell legend

[@leoekechi7324]

Oga Manuuuuuu,,, This is the beginning and end of dancing music. I was wild with this track in my secondary school days. Later when i grew up, I went on assignment to USA in 2010 and bought it from AMAZON Online.Papa Manu, Daddy Manu, my Oga, may God almighty Preserve you. I look forward to visiting Douala Cameroun to see how this track is adored. Someday and i mean someday

[@dango641]

you said it better, grand manu, his music deeply rooted from the doualas sacred religion, the (ngondo) there is one of his 1970 track, where, he incants(oh makatta) incantation of the ancestral spirits. just too power ful the soul, sango A manu. the spirit of a lion, thats what dwells in him.

[@stephanebertrandandenga442]

wonderful

[@emex01]

in tears hearing about his death. grew up listening to this track and it happens to have been my fav

[@royalmajesty4074]

This is the best song for me Manu debango is number one

[@ghislainemomo2751]

Rip, grand Manu

[@chynasoul69]

WOW!!! For soooo many years, i have been searching for this song. I remember it from my childhood. Couldnt get it on youtube cos i dont know the title or the artiste's name. I sang a part of the chorus to my uncle who is familiar with African music, and he told me it's likely by Manu Dibango. So, three nights ago, i began playing all of Dibango's music on youtube, searching for this track. NOW I FOUND IT!!! God bless u, united46. God bless u, and bless u, and bless u........bless u......!!!

[@emex01]

RIP. So Sad I never met him.

[@pekadaniel171]

en Hommage à ce grand BAOBAB du cameroun qu'etait MANU DIBANGO parti la nuit derniere le 24 mars 2020 à jamais vers les paradis celestes je reviens ecouter cette chanson qui pour moi est la meilleure synthese du garnd MANU JAZZY et MANU POPULAIRE !! Voici un fragment la lumiere de notre pays qui vient de s'eteindre à jamais !! tres peu de gens faisaient l unanimité au cameroun comme ce monsieur qui nous a quitté la nuit dernière !! il a tellement aime notre pays au point de garder la nationalité camerounaise alors qu'il est arrivé en france en 1949 (epoque ou il n yavait pas de carte de sejour) et qu'il aurait pu devenir francais 10000 fois s'il l'avait voulu !! Mais non il est resté vert rouge jaune avec un passeport camerounais et une vulgaire carte de séjour !! Merci grand pour l'amour que tu as eu pour nous en restant éternellement vert rouge jaune !! repose en paix GRAND nous ne t oublierons jamais !!! beaucoup de tristesse et de mélancolie dans nos coeurs cette nuit !!

[@acholonuchukwunatu-emeka9860]

This is like getting home as fresh as I was when as a kid, my elder ones would play, dance and discuss this song merrily. I came up on net searching for it but never did, not knowing the title. You cannot imagine what a thrill it was for me to stumble on it right now! The very best of African songs

[@ivess.loukson152]

ACHOLONU CHUKWUEMEKA You went through almost the same experience like me in relation to this track!

[@josephudenyi4705]

Makossa brutal

[@user-yp5nw5zu3u]

@@josephudenyi4705 magnifiquement brutalisé !!!

[@emex01]

same thing happened to me. i only discovered it last year from the 80ies

[@mikemikey4287]

Similar experience. You must have been a kid in 1981. It was an anthem then but I didn't know the artist nor title. I also searched for it for many yrs & even asked folks in Ghana/Nigeria/Cameroun to find it but they couldn't help because I neither had a name nor title. Eventually, I got the artist's name but couldn't find it online because I had no title. Frustratingly, all other Manu Di Bango's song will come up when searched except Oh Koi. It was like a gold dust. It's one of Africa's best.

[@masatowasira413]

I had the same experience though knew it was Manu but the title was a challenge this song and qui est fou de qui..but I am happy to have found them both

[@ernestpaul8826]

Just like Chukuemeka said I grew up falling in love with this track, sad enough I never knew the title. I've spent decades surfing the net for this track till I stumbled upon it today. Thanks to Papa Manu Dibango

[@adekunleotukoya1322]

From early 1972 i follow Manu Dibango's works til date, popular in the 70s was soul makosa, an album that sold millions.

[@meyilajunior6582]

[@user-yp5nw5zu3u]

mon frere IMELE moi meme j'ai souvent attaqué cette partie comme batteur dans les années 79 dans les concerts scolaires quand je laissai la basse en rivalisant avec l'actuel artiste ENOUMEDI Narcsisse alias "SPIRIT"(de son vrai nom) qui était un sacré batteur du coté du lycée polyvalent de Bonaberi et il eteignait tous les autres batteurs sauf moi !! Et c'est sur cette partie ou le batteur joue seul où toutes les petites me regardaient !!
