Orchestre Super Borgou de Parakou
Orchestre Super Borgou de Parakou - The Bariba Sound 2LP
$48.00
Super Borgou developed their own musical identity by reinventing
traditional songs and rhythms. With Benin's foremost drummer in
their ranks, Bariba and Dendi linguistic folklore, alongside Islamic
ilk, fused with soul, pachanga, breakbeats, rumba and Afro-Beat,
they manufactured a sound of penetrating and unpolished directness,
blurring the line between the erstwhile rhythms of the devout village
and the modern grooves infecting the forward-thinking city.
