- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
African music with members of Franz Ferdinand on the last track?
The greatest band in Benin's history, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, is back. After a
year of illustrious comeback live dates including New York's Lincoln Center,
WOMAD festival and Barbican London, the band releases its first studio album
in over twenty years, 'Cotonou Club', on Strut / Sons D'Ailleurs in March
2011.
Produced in Paris entirely on vintage analogue studio equipment, this new
album refreshes Poly-Rythmo classics such as 'Gbeti Madjro' (featuring
Angelique Kidjo) alongside a firing selection of brand new compositions. The
album also features a special bonus track, an exclusive collaboration between
Poly Rythmo and Franz Ferdinand's musicians. The mighty orchestre embark on
an album launch tour in Europe during April 2011.
