Angelique Kidjo Pays Tribute to Afro-Jazz Legend, Manu Dibango

The 59-year-old posted the tribute on Instagram on Tuesday.

Cher Manu, tu as été toujours là pour moi depuis mes débuts à Paris sur l’album Logozo jusqu’à cette répétition de #soulmakossa il y a juste deux mois pour la preparation de mon dernier concert. Tu es l’authentique géant de la musique africaine et une personne si belle et si forte. C est toi qui joue ici cette belle coda #manudibango . Dear Manu, you’ve always been there for me from my beginnings in Paris to this rehearsal just 2 months ago. You re the original giant of African Music and a beautiful human being. This coda of #SoulMakossa is for you!

The late 86-year-old was supposed to perform with Kidjo at the Carnegie Hall in New York City in the United States of America on March 14 but pulled out because according to Kidjo, “he’s too old to be traveling like that.”

The show was later canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Manu Dibango died on Tuesday in a hospital in Paris, France after contracting coronavirus.
