Poly Rythmo De Cotonou – Zero + Zero = Zero
I think Frank’s travel and digging reports played quite a role for my growing interest in West African music. I always liked the mixes he put online but at the same time I was not too confident to ever find any of these records as I don’t live in Western Africa and I don’t have the money to pay ebay prices. Today I was lucky at a record fair though. I didn’t find too much info online about this album. Everything that I found out is that it’s not an African but an American pressing and it usually seems to have a heavy price tag. I couldn’t even find out the release date. However it is a great album. Check out the beautiful Afro funk tune “Ne te faches pas” and the less funky but equally great “Aldin gbanzon“.

There also a French press of this LP on a label called Tangent. Same title.
Great, thanks!
thanks for the info…
actually all the info on the back is in french and the only thing that made me thought it’s an us press was that it has a distribution contact based in brooklny on the back. could be an import vinyl from france too.
fantastic!
Oooh, keeping funk alive! Thank you for all you do!
