    Key track "Rhythm Is All You Dance" is the zeitgeist with a thumb piano plus a keyboard line that's kin to the Ohio Players' "Funky Worm," but this excellent debut is a journey worth taking from beginning to end, and often.

    As a survey of Africa's influence on contemporary dance music, Basar is an inspiring document. As an album, it's every bit as good.
