"Kapu is the title of the first song and starts with a Bossa Nova groove, a great piano, two accordions, xylophones and exotic percussion. The pace of the track changes after two minutes, speeding things up and putting the piano together with the flute into the spotlight. At the end, things get even more exotic with the addition of man-made bird noises. The following Koko Head is one of my favorite tracks, consisting of sophisticated percussion with the help of bongos, a remarkably memorable main melody played first by a flute and then by a piano. The result is a refreshing blending of exotic elements with Western Jazz..."
