Manu Dibango, Pata Pata


Nearly every body knows the song Pata Pata which is a original folk song from South Africa, Miriam Makeba*s (†10.11.2008) version Pata Pata is the most famous one.
Here I post an other version from the group Manu Dibango.
Manu Dibango, born Emmanuel Dibango N'Djocke in 1933 in Douala, Cameroon, is a true African international superstar. Though his parents were both Protestant, Manu was considered to be the child of a mixed marriage (his father is of the Yabassi people, his mother of the Douala), Manu always felt that he was a divided man.
"Born of two antagonistic ethnic groups in Cameroon, where custom is dictated by the father's origin, I have never been able to identify completely with either of my parents. Thus I have felt pushed toward others as I made my own path"
Listen to his version - you'll be surprised.
