Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou is arguably West Africa’s best-kept secret. Their output, both in quantity and quality, was astonishing. During several trips to Benin, Samy Ben Redjeb managed to collect roughly 500 songs which Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou had recorded between 1970 and 1983. The cultural and spiritual riches of traditional Beninese music had an immense impact on the sound of Benin’s modern music.

Hailing from Benin, West Africa, Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou has been churning out incendiary Afro grooves since 1966. On ‘Bosq Meets Poly Rythmo Uptown,’ Bosq tastefully reworks 4 of Orchestre Poly Rythmo's legendary recordings. As a die-hard fan, Bosq took a subtle approach to the project. According to him Orchestre Poly Rythmo has been a strong influence on his work and he wanted to be respectful to the original tracks. Bosq focused on making the tracks DJ friendly by beefing up the low end, rearranging and stretching parts out, and adding in extra percussion and a drum machine  . Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Purchasable with gift card.

Notes

The track listing is identical to the debut album Ahehehinnou Vincent Orchestre-Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou Dahomey. However, the liner notes explain that the four track LP was recorded twice. The original producer rejected the first recording because of too much background noise, forcing another recording to be done. The test pressing of the rejected first recording was found and two tracks from each recording were chosen, making tracks 1 and 3 reissues of the original album and tracks 2 and 4 first time ever publicly available recordings.
