Mr. Maanu was an influential music figure in Denmark during the 80s and early 90s.
He teamed up with Danish music moguls at the time to promote the annual Afro-Caribbean music festival in Denmark.
It was through him that big names like AfroMoses, Kojo Antwi and Youssou N’Dour first visited Europe before becoming stars.
His death has reportedly received a wide coverage in the Danish media.
“They refer to him as the man who brought African rhythm to Denmark,” says Kennedy Adjei, chairman of NPP-Demnark. “He’s indeed a legend here and we are saddened by his passing. May the good Lord accept his soul.”
