✨ Portrait of a Legend: Dolly Parton — Her Life, Her Legacy, and Why We Adored Her

Some people are famous. A precious few are legends.

Before Afrobeat became a global marketing term, before “world music” found shelf space in record stores, and before Western pop fully embraced African rhythm structures, there was Manu Dibango — the towering Cameroonian saxophonist who fused jazz, funk, soul, disco, and makossa into something unmistakably futuristic.
