In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 7 years old, my parents enrolled me at the National Music School in Maputo, Mozambique as an after school activity. Here I learnt to play the recorder, progressing to the clarinet and finally the saxophone.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Hugh Masekela, Hugh Masekela: Greatest Hits Manu Dibango, The Very Best of Manu Dibango: Afro Soul Jazz from the Original Makossa Man Miles Davis, Kind of Blue These 3 men have had a great influence on my musical career. Manu Dibango and Hugh Masekela were mentors and both guided me as a young artist. Miles Davis is someone who's stage presence, style and attitude, I have always admired.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Take Five” Recording this song and the rest of the M & M album with Manu Dibango in Paris in 2015 was a very special time for me. I had the opportunity to spend time with him in and out of the studio which was very special.
