The album’s brief liner notes clearly point out that “The Bongolian” was born out of Bouzida’s interests in the percussive arts. This actually seems shortsighted, as he is also a very talented with keyboards, extending to vibes. It is this wide instrumentation in the company of the percussive rhythms that make this album stand pretty much alone in its field. Following what this writer deemed something of a lackluster introduction with the “Bongohead” single, I’ll kindly ask for some hot sauce to flavor that plate of crow I’m left to eat. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to turn the album over again. 4.5 STARS
