Makossa is a musical genre that emerged in Cameroon around the 1950s.
In the Douala language, "makossa" means "to dance".
Makossa is a blend of traditional Cameroonian rhythms and influences from Ghanaian highlife, Latin music, and jazz.
To this day, it continues to be an important element of Cameroonian music.
