I got to see him live in NJ in the 80's. RIP. Rest in Power, brotha. Your music tied the motherland sound with American funk and musicianship. A man before and ahead of his time.

Dibango – best known for his 1972 song Soul Makossa – is one of the first global stars to die from Covid-19.
The 86-year-old fused jazz and funk music with traditional sounds from his home country, Cameroon.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce you the loss of Manu Dibango, our Papy Groove,” a statement on his official Facebook page read.
His funeral will take place in “strict privacy”, the statement read, asking instead for people to send condolences by email and adding that a tribute will be arranged “when possible”.

Most likely this song became a b-boy classic because of Bambaata
He literally listened to everything to find songs that dancers and partygoers would enjoy
People are open minded and have access to all kinds of music in modern era, but Bam had teens in the early 70's Bronx grooving to Cameroonian music. That song probably wasn't played on a single radio station in the country during that time.
