Emmanuel Mayungu d'Oliveira (1915 – 12 January 1988), professionally known as Manuel d'Olivera, was an Angolan-born Congolese singer, songwriter, performer, guitarist, and bandleader. A seminal figure in Central African music, he is notably recognized for creating the "Polka Piké", a distinctive Bantu dance rhythm rooted in Kongo traditions. His musical career flourished in the 1950s, especially after signing with the Ngoma record label in 1948, under which he produced several notable hits—"Basi Banso Tapale", "Chérie Bondowe", "Elongi Ya Chérie", "Mwasi Kitoko Kulala Na Nkuala" and "Maria Tchebo".
