Manu Dibango in Conversation with Joel Savage: Reflections on Music, Legacy, and Life


Joel Savage and Manu Dibango

Joel Savage and Manu Dibango


Manu Dibango is perhaps one of the world's best jazz saxophonists. A true international superstar, with a career starting in the '50s. At 15, he was sent to Paris to prepare for a professional career. 
 

He is a tireless globe-trotting musician. Last year, he played for hundreds of fans at the "Mano-Mundo festival" in Antwerp, and this year he was invited once again to play at the "Pole-pole festival" in Gent. Both cities are in Belgium. Now he speaks to me about his passion for music.
