Dja Dja Dja! Analog Africa brings you a superb collection. It showcases the blend of rock, psych, funk, soul, and Latin sounds in the 1970s music of Benin and Togo, 10 years after the original African Scream Contest. Bands from these two African countries added James Brown - style screams to their tracks, but they're far from being half - hearted JB impersonators. Enjoy the bubbly blaxploitation vibes of Les Sympathics de Porto Novo's “A Min We Vo Nou We” or the sleazy lounge grooves of Ignace de Souza & The Melody Aces' “Asaw Fofor,” which sounds like The Doors in Africa. Other great tracks include Orchestre Poly - Rythmo de Cotonou's “Moulon Devia,” Lokonon André Et L'Orchestre Les Volcans' “Glenon Ho Akue,” Gnonnas Pedro And His Dadjes Band's “How Much Love Naturally Cost,” and Sebastien Pynasco & L'Orchestre Black Santiago's “Sadé” (not related to Sade). With 14 tracks on double vinyl, presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve in Analog Africa's fine style. It also comes with a 24 - page booklet full of photos, album art, and detailed liner notes. Plus, a digital download is included. Music label: Analog Africa 2018. Reviewed by spooning good singing gum 07/2018.
