Artists such as Petit Pays, Mathematik, Sonny, and Mony Eka have made their mark with the West African style of music called Makossa. The rest of the world learned about Makossa thanks to jazz star Manu Dibango, who's now 80 years old. In the 1990s, Dibango created a new World Music genre by combining Makossa with jazz.
