Music is not fixed, it changes. Traditional music has definitely been affected by modern music…like a person, it evolves, develops.” I met Dibango in 1995 when he came to perform on the Santa Monica Pier as part of the Twilight Dance Series. I interviewed him on Café LA and invited him to a party I was hosting that night in my new home.
