Another killer African comp from Soundway repressed! This was the label’s fourth release (back in 2004) after that followed the successes of Ghana Soundz Volumes 1&2 and Afro-Baby. Here’s what the label had to say: “From the Republic of Benin, West Africa, T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo is one of Africa’s least-known big-bands outside of their home country. Here, it’s hoped to redress the balance with a collection that reflects their many poly-rhythmic moods. A mixture of hard Afro-Funk, driving Afrobeat, deep Afro-Latin and Cuban grooves all with a unique flavor that ruled the dance-floors of 70’s urban Benin. Contained here are never before heard tracks re-mastered and available for the first time outside of Africa since being originally issued on small vinyl presses that have long become extinct.” 13 tracks of afro-heat total spread over two LPs. Recommended. reviewed by the mgmnt 11/19/2009 (via T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo - The Kings of Benin Urban Groove 1972-80 2LP - Turntablelab.com)
