T.P. ORCHESTRE POLY-RYTHMO - LE SATO 2 VINYL (LP)

Release Date: 24th November 2023

"Over the past few years Acid Jazz have released a series of reissues from the enigmatic Albarika Store, a goldmine of records from Benin, West Africa from the late 1960s through to the early 1980s. T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo’s ‘Le Sato 2’ is a particularly obscure release. The follow up to ‘Le Sato’, the album was originally sold in exactly the same sleeve as the first volume, with the new catalogue number simply written on the back. This reissue marks the first proper release of the record, with a sleeve incorporating original design in a new, distinctive and authentic colour scheme. This time the tracklist and labels are correct, giving the album pride of place in the essential T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, Albarika and Benin musical library."
