Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou Dahomey Kpede Do Gbe Houenou / Ma Wa Mon Nou Mi O

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou Dahomey – Kpede Do Gbe Houenou
Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou Dahomey – Ma Wa Mon Nou Mi O

1. Kpede Do Gbe Houenou
2. Ma Wa Mon Nou Mi O

'Kpede Do Gbe Houenou’ is a burning piece of Afro-funk from Benin’s finest, the all-conquering Orchestre Poly-Rythmo. With a killer horns line, imploring vocals and a driving groove, this has it all and is just waiting to ignite reopened dancefloors. 'Ma Wa Mon Nou Mi O’ is equally strong, if a little less intense, and features wonderful guitar work to the fore. Without question, this is essential Beninese music!
