Editorial: Manu Dibango
Manu Dibango is a Cameroonian saxophonist and singer. One of the precursors of the World Music, he is one of the leading figures of African music. Manu Dibango is a shareholder in the project Africa Radio, along with I&P Afrique Entrepreneurs and other African personalities.
"The radio has always been an important source of inspiration in my life. In my childhood, I’ve heard it play music from across Africa. For 15 years it also became a profession, as I started to present a weekly show on the musical heritage of the continent on Africa N°1, with Robert Brazza.
Participating to this project was an opportunity I could not miss. I have a great consideration for the founders of the project, which I’ve known for several years. I know how committed they are to promote African cultural diversity among the 200 million French speakers in the world. I see the radio as the media of the future, present in our everyday life from morning until night, at home, at work or on the road. This project also comes at a time when a young and creative Africa is starting to rise. And also a time when the advertising markets start financing independent media, making this project possible. For all these reasons, I am proud and eager to share this new adventure with my partners of Africa Radio."
