MAKOSSA - Vocal Jackson Tribute '09

The sound of MAKOSSA (a dance from Cameroon) was used by Michael in his "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", influenced by Manu Dibango's "Soul Makossa".

This MAKOSSA is composed by Eva Nilsson, and contains Michael's part. The live recording is a bit rough, but the piece is tenderly performed by EKOO!, a Swedish vocal constellation. Instruments: Hapi Drum (Eva Nilsson), South African kalimba (Helen Melin), Ghanaian rattle (Marie Larsdotter) and Doundoun (Diana Nuñez).

The pictures are from Michael's visits to various parts of Africa in 1992. The last pictures shows the ceremony when Michael was crowned "King Sani" by tribal leaders in Ivory Coast.

Truely brilliant. I never knew its origins. Thankyou so much. I bet RHIANNA doesn't know where this comes from. I feel honoured.
