Reissue of Pasteur Lappé's first album, which was recorded in 1979 with the backing band and production collective The Zulu Gang. The album is full of diverse sounds; from driving funk, sweeping disco grooves, syrupy ballads, reggae, Jackson-five-esque pop to finger-lickin' soul. At its core though is the custom "Sekele" groove... a movement to encompass the dance, grooves and vibes from his native Douala, Cameroon.
