African Scream Contest Vol. 2- Benin 1963-1980
Back with a second volume of funky rarities for African Scream Contest Vol 2, Analog Africa explore more of the post-colonial Afrobeat and heavy funk recordings of Benin. The West African nation underwent regime change, name change, and a variety of tension-inducing political, social, and economic shifts. All the while, artists continued to create horn-laden boogies, raw voodoo rhythms, and searing guitar work.
