Orchestre Poly Rythmo The 1st Album cd

cd
2011/1973
new
Fast percussion & saxophone interplay that seems to float & shimmy back and forth between a couple of minor organ chords forever, just like the tightest James Brown cookers. There were few recording facilities in Benin, so the band traveled 60 miles to Lagos. When they got their first test pressing back, it was rejected for bad sound quality. So they went back and did it all again. You get half from the released version & half from the rejected test version. Opening track appeared on Analog Africa's 'African Scream Contest', but none of this is on either of the previous Orchestre Poly Rythmo releases. Tracklisting: Ou C'est Lui Ou C'est Moi, Yeye We Nou Mi, La La La La, Egni Miton Nin Mi Na Wa Gbin.
