Let's have a new great trip together around the African continent. So gald to share all these tasty and spicy sounds. Enjoy !   En route pour un nouveau fantastique voyage à travers le continent Africain. Ravi de vous retrouver et de partager tous ces sons merveilleux et savoureux. Profitez-en bien !   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   SHIPPING COST :   Please, read this before bidding, it's really important !   I'm (unfortunately) based in Belgium. The belgian postal service is  probably the most expensive in the world (especially to send outside Europe : 1 to 3 LP's (no tracking number) = 28$ !!!) and does not offer economy service. Every year, prices are raised, rules change. So, from now on, I propose to ship packages from France also. It will take a few days more but it will be cheaper. Please, report to the rates below and mention if you prefer this option. Thanks a lot for your understanding.   FRAIS DE PORT :   SVP, lisez attentivement avant d'enchérir, c'est important !   Je suis (malheureusement) basé en Belgique. Le service postal belge est probablement le plus cher du monde (surtout pour les envois hors Europe : 28$ pour 1 à 3 disques, sans numéro de suivi !) et ne propose pas de service économique. Chaque année, les prix augmentent, les règles changent. C'est pourquoi je propose, à partir de maintenant, la possibilité d'envoyer les paquets de France. Cela prendra plus de temps, mais cela sera moins cher. Vous trouverez les tarifs ci-dessous. Dites-moi d'avance si vous préferez cette option. Merci d'avance pour votre compréhension.     Priority Airl Mail (sending from Belgium - 1 or 2 business days after payment) :   EUROPE* + USA : 1-3 LP's = 17$ (no tracking number !Registered shipping = + 7$ !) / 4-18 LP's = 42$ (with tracking number)   *Except to ENGLAND / FRANCE / GERMANY / NETHERLAND :  4-30 LP's = 21$ (with tracking number)   WORLDWIDE (Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Central and South America, Oceania) : 1-3 LP's = 28$ / 4-7 LP's = 52$ (no tracking number !

!!! Incredible ! How can I explain with words this fantastic music that comes out of space ? Ok, take a few sprinters, world recordmen in Olympic Games, give them a few instruments (guitar, drums, ) and tell them that if the music they plays doesn't go as fast as their feet, their golden medal will be take on away ! No, it's no good...Ok, just come with me to Benin 30 years ago, let's go in a club with the most popular and unbelievable band of the whole of West Africa...Listen...Powerful deep voices, perfect drums, crazy guitar, amazing trumpet, funny keyboard, really great and present cosmic effects (A2/B2), a music really funky, hot, that smells of perspiration. The first track begins with a powerful winds introduction, a guitar break, drums, and it's started ! Breathe in ! Breathe out ! It's better that what you can imagine. Because there is this extraordinary funky hypnotic rythm, and this incredible guitar, but what is more, the song is really beautiful, with female voice chorus background, and Leopold who goes in a trance. F**k ! How is it possible ? A2 is a little bit more quiet, but with the same spirit and musical quality, with a cosmic break ! B1 is in a latin mood (Gnonnas Pedro). B2 is too much "beautiful, beautiful without problem, she's beautiful and everybody is looking for her" sings the chorus. Rhythm tempo between zouk and soukouss, and crazy cosmics sounds. Well, really one the best record of the best west african band. So, one of my favorite Poly Rythmo recording...I spoke to much...close your eyes, and listen :
