My first encounter with him was in 1983 in France. Me, a 17-year old "late hippie" from Germany, hitchhiked in the south of France, and I was on the backseat, and next to me an African with his Ghettoblaster. What the hell is this music? Manu Dibango. I went out, and what did I see? A poster: Manu Dibangu, Radio Sur, Live in Montpellier. Sure I went, it was only a couple of days later. I came to town, asked some Africans where the concert was. If he would play, we would know, he's the king … They didn't, for whatever reason. I found the Open Air theater, He played 1-2 hours, And then he moved to the keyboards and went on for another. It was incredible. Next time I saw him in Würzburg, Afrika Festival. First set was wonderful, second too much Pop. 2000 I moved to France, and saw him again in 2019 in Lavault St Anne in a local Jazz Festival, organized by the communities around Montlucon. The mayors of the cities came on stage and were so happy that he--the father of Afrojazz-- had accepted the invitation. "Rather Grandfather", he corrected. I was not sure what would happen. A 85-year old man, the saxophon surely would sound pale. But not at all, from the first note onwards it was a revelation (and even better than in 1983, when I saw him in Montpellier). He was so relaxed, yet powerful, all ambition was history, he had done what he had to do in this life. And it was such a nice ambience, inmidst of the nature, next to a river. He was probably inspired by all this as well. Sadly, one year later, he died. And I'm deeply grateful, as he inspired me so much, as I later did myself some afro- latin- jazz on saxophon (and played in Burghausen, but only in the context of the Jazzwoche with my band Oimbo kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH6ulXSVa5p_aKc , but of cause not on the main stage, but in a bar. It was fun as well) ... Thanks so much, Manu!

Thank you for this powerful testimonial

[@yungpm]

What an amazing story!! I’m a “late hippie” too! I wish I could’ve seen him but I discovered his music far too late. He still lives on in our hearts and minds as an absolute legend of African jazz.

[@signorealberto5359]

Thank you Africa Festival Team for uploading this in the best quality .mkv. Also the people here in Würzburg are great, thanks ! If I look to "Nuits du Sud" in Vence, what a shame for Vence! You can find it here in YT, but the Musik is best Manu quality, even better, most of all the singers Celine and Valerie from Africa.

Am I miscalculating or was he really 83 at the time he played for this concert

[@yungpm]

He was. Music keeps us young.

[@SaxophoneEastAfrika]

Who knows the name of the song at the 10th minute? Or the album

[@Elegant_Music_Movement]

There's no musical set list?

[@CollinsOtienoKenny]

Someone please warn Moreira to stick within legal limits. I think he's going out of control from 1:06:30

[@klettode]

😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 I was thinking the same like u
