Manu Dibango Quotes

• You know that one don't play music just for the hours to pass. But you play music because you are in love with music and luckily if it happens that people like what I'm proposing, then I'm happy. Although music is business, yet you don't start thinking about money from the initial stages when you are in music. First propose to the people what they want and if they like it, then the money comes later.

It's the responsiblity of an artist to make his fans happy. That is proposition. I'm always talking about proposition.
