RICHARD BONA

�Bona Makes You Sweat - Live� (Decca): B-

Bona�s first alive album is a glib introduction to his magnificent talent as a bassist, singer and bandleader. Bona�s ability to synthesize elements of African music (he�s from Cameroon), salsa, wind and pop into a mind-blowing hybrid made his previous albums world-jazz landmarks that charmed the straits as well as the feet. With its unrelenting dance-floor focus and career-survey feel, �Bona Makes You Sweat� fails to step up to any of them. Download: �Kalabancoro.�
