Makossa
Makossa is a vibrant and rhythmic music genre that originated in Cameroon in the 1950s, characterized by its fusion of traditional African melodies, jazz, and funk. Known for its infectious danceability and lively tempo, Makossa often features complex guitar lines, brass sections, and syncopated rhythms that compel audiences to move. The genre gained international acclaim through the pioneering work of artists like Manu Dibango, whose iconic song "Soul Makossa" brought global attention to the sound. Modern artists, such as Aveiro Djess and Coco Argentée, continue to innovate within the genre, infusing contemporary elements while maintaining the genre’s rich cultural roots.
