Manu Dibango - New Bell
Manu Dibango is probably best known for the song Soul Makossa that was a big hit for him in the 70's. There are a ton of cover versions out there of Soul Makossa. The first track on Dibango's Soul Makossa album is a personal favorite of mine, New Bell. New Bell is less disco-sounding than Soul Makossa and sounds more like Fela Kuti, Africa 70 or Tony Allen. It has a strong African rhythm to it with a pace that makes you want to get up and dance.

Thanks a lot for posting this song! This used to be our favourite when we were growing up as kids. Actually, even tho the song is from early 70s, we got hold of it late 70s back home in India. We used to have a lot of fun with this one (New Bell) and Soul Makossa. Thanks again!
thanks SO much....
