James Hallen revives Manu Dibango’s legendary “Soul Makossa” with a vibrant disco-inspired remix that celebrates the roots of funk and dance culture. Built around the unmistakable “makossa” groove that shaped generations of house and disco producers, this rework injects modern energy with punchy kicks, filtered basslines, and shimmering percussion. Hallen keeps the original’s soulful horns and chant alive while giving it a sleek, club-ready polish. The result is a timeless floor-filler that bridges 1970s Afro-disco rhythms with contemporary house flair — a perfect tribute to one of dance music’s true classics.
