Benign Benin


If you're looking for something a little different to listen to, may I recommend The Vodoun Effect by the Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotounou. This is a collection of African Funk recorded between 1972-1975 in Benin. Some wonderful enthusiasts at a label called Analog Africa recently put together this delightful set together with a 44 page book detailing the history of these incredibly obscure pieces of vinyl. It's gorgeous.
