Beginning in the 1950s, Makossa - meaning "(I) dance" in the Duala language of Cameroon - is a musical style which is similar to Soukous, but Makossa makes more use of a horn section and bass rhythm. It has its origins in Kossa, a type of dance associated with the Duala people, and has also taken influence from various modern styles such as Jazz, Highlife and Cuban Rumba. By far the most famous Makossa musician is Manu Dibango, whose single Soul Makossa became a massive international hit and was a key point in the development of Disco.
