Info for Vol. 1 (Remastered)
Originally released in 1980 on the Alberika label,Orchestre Les Volcans du Benin Vol. 1 has long been a ‘holy grail’ LP for Afro-Cuban aficionados.
It now sees it’s first official reissue on Acid Jazz Records, with four infectious tracks across the two sides, including Oya Ka Jojo – latin dancefloor dynamite and a DJ must-have.
Remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering. It’s an opportunity to finally own this special and highly sought after album.
Benin has played an important role in the African music scene, producing one of the biggest stars to come out of the continent in Angélique Kidjo. Post-independence, the country was home to a vibrant and innovative music scene, where native folk music combined with Ghanaian highlife, French cabaret, American rock, funk and soul, and Congolese rumba. It also has a rich variety of ethnomusicological traditions.
