Two live recordings of this session will be taken out this pathbreaking and improvised meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great complicity shortly settled between them and, a few months later, Akalé Wubé invited Manu Dibango on their track Anbessa (The Lion in Amharic) composed as a tribute to him. This collaboration led them to share several stages together in the following years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this RFI session still in mind, Manu Dibango invited the band to join him in studio for Akalé Wubé to arrange and re-record 5 other unknown nuggets from his catalogue : La Colère des Dieux, Du Bush a Bush, Gentlemen de Camp Yabassi, Otetena Munja and Peaceful Homeland. Unfortunately, The Lion won't make it to the Parisian band's studio to record his last solos, fate decided otherwise\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49971543310578,"sku":"3760300319611","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4162806-2921109.jpg?v=1787572372","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/akale-wube-anbessa","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
