Showcasing the breadth of a wickedly versatile musician, this collection of Manu Dibango's '70s and '80s recordings is a lesson in the art of groove. Infectious funk workout "Soul Makossa" sparks the party before cuts like the furious "Sun Explosion" and the soaring 10-minute epic "Electric Africa" connect the dots between traditional Afrobeat and the disco and electro-funk scenes. Dance-floor respite comes from an airy take on the standard "Poinciana," which is a testament to Dibango's jazz chops.
