The Sound Kitchen - Manu Dibango’s astonishing recording legacy
Loading player...
This week on The Sound Kitchen, you’ll hear the answer to the question about recordings by Cameroonian musician Manu Dibango.

All that, and “Ollia’s Happy Moment”, some great music, and of course, the new quiz question, too. Just click on the “Audio” arrow above and enjoy!
Hello everyone! Welcome to The Sound Kitchen weekly podcast, published every Saturday – here on our website, or wherever you get your podcasts. You’ll hear the winners' names announced and the week’s quiz question, along with all the other ingredients you’ve grown accustomed to: your letters and essays, “On This Day”, quirky facts and news, interviews, and great music … so be sure and listen every week.
Do you remember The Sound Kitchen Listeners Cookbook we published a couple of years ago, filled with your recipes? I had good news this week: our Communications Department has decided to re-print the original, and add some new recipes – from you, of course!

Send your recipes to thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr - don’t put it off!
It’s ePOP time!
RFI Planète Radio is sponsoring a video contest, and we want you to enter!
Planète Radio is an RFI department that gives voices to remote populations around the world. They are looking for 3-minute videos about climate change, the environment, pollution - told by the people it affects. Here’s what Planète Radio says about the competition:
