Afro Beat / Funk / African / Psychedelic / World Music

It would appear that the passing last year of Melome Clement, the "Chef d'orchestre" of Poly Rythmo, has inspired Analog Africa's founder, Sammy Ben Redjeb, to serve up another helping of tracks from Benin's greatest band. While the highs on this album may not be as high as on the other two Analog Africa releases, one can rest assured that this collection is of the same high quality as those two releases. While this third volume is still focused on their funkier styles, it contains songs with many different designations: Jerk, Sato, Afro Beat, Vodoun, Pop, Cavacha, Pachanga, Bossa, and Slow. (For an album focusing on Poly-Rythmo's take on Latin and Congolese styles, try the out of print Popular African Music release Poly-Rythmo (Reminiscin' in Tempo / African Dancefloor Classics) or try the even more varied but equally difficult to get Soundway release Kings of Benin Urban Groove 1972-80.)

Most of these songs are propelled along by a solid funky rhythm laid down by drummer Yehouessi Leopold, probably Africa's second best kit drummer behind Tony Allen, and bassist Bentho Gustave. The horn section provides the song with a punch. There are plenty of great songs here. Karateka, which led off a since-removed Soundways Records mix, is a highlight here. In it the singer warns a man that although he may find a woman beautiful, her husband knows karate. A organ solo plays against a simple melody repeated on a single trumpet. It ends with a hypnontic swirl of horns, organ, and vocals over an insistent rhythm that is Poly Rythmo at their best.

A more mature release from Analog Africa, the booklet focuses on the music itself, presenting the lyrics in Fon and their English translations, except for the two pages dedicating this album to Melome Clement. Unlike other releases it gives thc catalog numbers for the original releases. Also the designation of the style and language of the song are given, e.g. Sato Fon. While not important, I wish this information had been provided on the other releases. The hidden track is still here along with the interview. Overall it's another strong release from Analog Africa which seems more concerned with providing quality releases than building an empire.
