Judging by Na Man Pass Man’s groove, Pasteur Lappé’s native Douala, Cameroon, must have been a very fun place in the 1970s. Although it was recorded after the young musician had moved to Paris, Lappé’s second album channels the Sekele movement, the sunny blend of rhythms, dances, and sounds that were setting Douala’s nightclubs alight. The eight tracks offer a snapshot of the joy and optimism that pervaded the city at the time, and the combination of funk, disco, reggae, and sugary R&B is as appealing as ever. You’ll be headed to the dancefloor before you know it.
