"Soul Makossa" is a 1972 single by Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango. It is often dubbed as the first disco record, first introduced to American audiences by New York radio DJ Frankie Crocker.

It is probably best remembered in the chanted vocal refrain "Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-coo-sa" in Michael Jackson's 1983 "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" where it is featured prominently during the song's final bridge. Dibango's lawyers obtained compensation in an out-of-court settlement claiming Jackson had stolen the melody from Dibango.
