With his rapid-fire soukous dance rhythms, six-foot three-inch frame and multi-octave range, Pepe Kalle more than earns his affectionate nickname The Elephant of African Music on this boisterous release. He lilts tremulously over the energetic "Djarabi Adjatou", and inspires us to get up and move something with his staccato delivery on "Marché commun". Each song bustles with a hyperactive Central African beat so spirited and lively that even Diblo Dibala's guitar sounds percussive in its perfectly timed fingerpicking.
