2LP VINYL RE-ISSUE
Release Date: 1st July 2022
Only 200 copies of this super rare African record originally existed. Recording for Benin’s communist revolution this is a one of a kind album that is as raw as it gets - mixing afrobeat, funk, soul and psych rock!
"Recorded for Benin’s Communist revolution, ‘Rhythm Revolution’ is a rare and truly unique Afrobeat record - it’s rumoured only 200 copies of the original release survived. Ferry Djimmy was a schoolteacher, former boxer, and a personal friend of Muhammad Ali and Fela Kuti. He was later Jacques Chirac’s personal bodyguard. Recorded at the Satel Studio in Cotonou, the album is one of the toughest, wildest and deepest slices of Afro-Funk cut - with raw African rhythms, distortion, energy and wit. Alongside nods to Hendrix, Kuti and James Brown, there is something truly unique about Ferry Djimmy’s musical legacy. A must-have for Afrobeat, Afro Funk and Psych collectors."
