The audio dub was really quite horrible to the point it was very hard to discern who was talking. But there was some super cool editing throughout and the background drums were excellent. Very funny and beautiful to watch. The cop was hilariously pathetic.

What a magnificent film, it has a soundtrack and photography that in my opinion have nothing to envy of great productions. I think I will now explore African cinema more.
