Chants et Danses Populaires du Bénin Vollumes 1 & 2 (1978)

Released in 1978 by the Agence de coopération culturelle et technique & Ministère de la Jeunesse de la Culture Populaire et des Sports (Porto-Novo) originally on two records or cassettes. This is a nice compilation of music by two relatively well known groups, Black Santiago and Le Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, and a few tracks by lesser known artists. They were released as separate volumes (1 & 2) and as far as I can determine have never been released on CD.
Track Listing:
  1. Orchestre Black Santiago - Akpe Na Agecoop
  2. Orchestre Black Santiago - Aduke
  3. L'Orchestre de la BCB - Sokemu
  4. L'Orchestre de la BCB - Balkanisation de l'Afrique
  5. Gnonnas Pedro - Agbaja Moderne
  6. Les Messagers du Bénin - Ajanu Ce
  7. Les Sympatics de Porto-Novo - Afrika
  8. T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Se Na Me
  9. T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Hwe Towe Hun
