10 classic tracks from David Mancuso's Loft
MFSB, Manu Dibango, Loose Joints and more dance music gems
3 Manu Dibango 'Soul Makossa'
A great example of the influence The Loft wielded. Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa was unheralded upon it’s release in 1972. That was until Mancuso stumbled across a copy of the Cameroonian musician’s record in Brooklyn and began playing it at his parties. The song subsequently received a swell of support from other DJs and now you can hear the vocal refrain on Michael Jackson and Rihanna tracks. That’s influence.
