This swift, hip, swinging album deserves as much love as you've got to give. More chilled-out than fellow Spaniard Manu Chao, this guy puts Afrobeat, reggae and bossa nova in a room and has them suggestively slow dancing with each other within about two minutes. The album's a joy from start to finish, with the possible exception of "How Come You Do Me Like You Do?"
