What's intriguing about this video is that the dancers are doing the Bump in 1973, and that dance didn't reach the West Coast until 1974.

mentioned this song in “We Want The Funk” review: “The doc explores David Bowie’s “Fame,” Fela & Afro beats, James Brown & 1972 song “Soul Makossa” by Manu Dibango; originally recorded as B-side 4 song celebrating Cameroon’s hosting Africa Cup of Nations”

Yo! Where do I find this film! Please and thank you!

Gawdamn
