T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Reminiscin' in Tempo [Popular African Music, 2003]: 7.5 (high B+)


Part of the African Dancefloor Classics series on the label. The first three tracks are the best three on the four-track album Poly-Rythmo '76, Vol. 1, in my view (ie, they left off the right track), but this compilation is way too expensive for me to collect just for those (and forget about the 1976 release). Because the next two long tracks are just too long, and the final two tracks are very “Cuban” and more derivative-sounding.
