Title: Les Sympathetics De Porto-Novo Benin - Volume 2
Condition: New
Description: Second album from another of Porto Novo's premier groups from the 1970's, founded by former Herman Laleye - former leader of other Benin greats 'Black Dragons de Porto Novo'. The heavy rhythm section of the Laleye brothers (Herman on bass and Marc on drums) supports the vocals of Gangbo Bonheur (with backing from Herman and Jean-Louis Avognon), alongside Armand Pognon's blues-edged guitar and Camille Zanou's hypnotic organ. Unlike a lot of their contemporaries, Les Sympathetics steer clear of straight afrobeat, afrofunk or afrolatin incursions, to create something truly unique in the Beninese musical canon.
