Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou – The Vodoun Effect (1972-75, Benin)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 965 on The List, submitted by platenworm. From the amazing Analog Africa label, this is the first of three volumes collecting a few gems from “West Africa’s best-kept secret”. The band mixes the "Sato" and "Sakpata" rhythms with funk, soul, psychedelic riffs, and spotlight-stealing organ solos, showcasing why they became one of the era’s best, funkiest, and most innovative groups.

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou – The Vodoun Effect (1972-75, Benin)
Our next spotlight is on number 965 on The List, submitted by platenworm.
From the amazing Analog Africa label, this is the first of three volumes collecting a few gems from “West Africa’s best-kept secret”, a band founded in 1968 first under the name “Orchestre Poly-Disco” that became one of the era’s best, funkiest, and most innovative. While volume 2 features songs that were professionally recorded for the Albarika Store label, the songs on this volume (as well as volume 3) were recorded in home studios with a single microphone or two for smaller labels and (with the exception of one track) previously saw only limited local release. From the Bandcamp description: “Two Vodun rhythms dominate the music of Orchestre Poly-Rythmo: Sato, an amazing, energetic rhythm performed using an immense vertical drum, and Sakpata, a rhythm dedicated to the divinity who protects people from smallpox. Both rhythms are represented here mixed in with Funk, Soul, crazy organ sounds and psychedelic guitar riffs.”
