This retrospective of the legendary Cameroon saxophonist Manu Dibango includes 10 prime examples of his eclectic style, including his internationally successful hit, "Soul Makossa", the percolating percussion and layered brass of "Africadelic", and the '80s disco of "Sun Explosion".

Saxophonist from Cameroon. Originally trained in classical piano, his musical career began in Brussels and Paris in the 1950s. 1960 finds him in Congo as a member of African Jazz led by Joseph Kabasele (Le Grand Kalle)! He formed his own band in Cameroon in 1963, moving to Paris in 1965. His international breakthrough came in 1972 with Soul Makossa.
Manu Dibango is extraordinarily versatile, having played almost every style of music you care to mention - soul, reggae, jazz, spirituals, blues, electro.

RUNDMO is a Nordic jazz trio from Trondheim that plays self-composed music with elements of Nordic folk music. With its unique line-up, the band explores a lyrical soundscape, resulting in descriptive and melancholic expressions. The music is varied and can be reminiscent of everything from a soulful walk in the woods to something more rough and mysterious. This spring, the trio will release their new album "Jazz på Madrass". The album takes inspiration from the bedroom, where different types of dreams and sleep are the inspiration behind the music. The album will be released on 1 March 2024 and this is the first concert with the music.
