The biggest names from Benin’s funk scene get their respect in this solid endeavor by Analog Africa. It features tracks by Gnonnas Pedro, El Rego, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo as well as their frequent collaborating singers Antoine Dougbé and Honoré Avolonto released between 1969 and 1981.
Listen to the massive Agbadja groover, “Dadje Von O Von“, by Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band (which Gnonnas Pedro recorded a couple of other versions of).
