Do you remember Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ from Michael Jackson’s album Thriller? Remember at the end when Jackson’s voice endlessly repeats “ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa”...? These lyrics are strangely reminiscent of Soul Makossa, a track recorded in 1972 by Manu Dibango and imported by producers from across the Atlantic. In 1986, Jackson was forced to pay Manu Dibango a million francs in damages following a settlement agreement.
