2009 repress, originally released 2005. "After the successes of Ghana Soundz Volumes 1&2 and Afro-Baby, Soundway are proud to present their highly anticipated fourth album. From the Republic of Benin, West Africa, T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo is one of Africa's least-known big-bands outside of their home country. Here, it's hoped to redress the balance with a collection that reflects their many poly-rhythmic moods. A mixture of hard Afro-Funk, driving Afrobeat, deep Afro-Latin and Cuban grooves all with a unique flavor that ruled the dance-floors of 70's urban Benin. Contained here are never before heard tracks re-mastered and available for the first time outside of Africa since being originally issued on small vinyl presses that have long become extinct. This is album is a must for all funk and Afro beat addicts and world music fans alike."
