Pretty, mostly instrumental Obatala instantly creates a mood. World music inspired. Buffalo Gals has a quirky intro, radio DJ samples, record scratches, and an old school hip hop sound to it. Programmed drums and synth bass. Double Dutch gets even weirder, with complicated melodies, but it's lots of fun. We go deeper into the Latin or Caribbean inspired sounds next, with classical guitar featuring. Punk It Up is a highlight. Back to instrumental next with Legba and it's incredible and cinematic, percussion like maracas with multiple overlapping synth melodies. Song for Chango is good too, tropical sounds. World's Famous is a short but excellent track, jazzy hop hop. I was hoping for another instrumental but the outro sounds like line dancing music. Never let them know your next move.
