Biography excerpt from Last.fm :
Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou is arguably West Africa’s best-kept secret. Their output, both in quantity and quality, was astonishing. During several trips to Benin, Samy Ben Redjeb managed to collect roughly 500 songs which Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou had recorded between 1970 and 1983.
The cultural and spiritual riches of traditional Beninese music had an immense impact on the sound of Benin’s modern music. Benin is the birthplace of Vodun (also Vodoun, or, as it is known in the West, Voodoo), a religion which involves the worship of some 250 sacred divinities. The rituals used to pay tributes to those divinities are always backed by music. The majority of the complex poly-rhythms of the vodun are still more or less secret and difficult to decipher, even for an accomplished musician. Anthropologists and ethnomusicologists agree that this religion constitutes the principal “cultural bridge” between Africa and all its Diasporas of the New World and in a reflection of the power and influence of these sounds many of the complex rhythms were to have a profound impact on the other side of the Atlantic on rhythms as popular as Blues, Jazz, Cuban and Brazilian music.

With its iirresistible rhythms and catchy melodies, "Bus Conductor" captures the energy of city transport. E.T. Mensah's distinctive vocal style and the brass instrumentation typical of Highlife music make it an highly addictive track.

Volunteer to call Democrats who have had a problem with their ballots and need to get them fixed in time! "Ballot curing" is the process of fixing an error or a mistake on a ballot, like forgetting a signature on a mail-in ballot. Calling these voters can help make sure their votes are counted. Our partners have lists of Democrats who need their ballots "cured" and need volunteers to contact them with how they can fix the problem. You'll get a list of appreciative voters and use your own phone and a computer to help them. Every call you make could be one more vote from a Democrat!
