This painting of Lohento Eskill was made by Gnonnas Pedro's son: Gilles Gnonnas. It was given to Eskill's family during his funerals the 8th of december 2006. Lohento was with Clement Melome, his old friend, the leaders singers of T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo. Lohento died at the age of 55.
In this picture, Lohento Eskill's sons.
After posting the 4th volume with Yehouessi Lepold, let's enjoy this "volume 5", recorded in 1978. Lohento's composition "Agbaza Min Nin" became famous in 1977 during the FESTAC, a live that I will post later. The song talks about the beauty of africam women's light-skinned. You can also recognize, in this LP, Tijani Kone's saxophone, just coming from Mali.

wow, the poly-ritmo train just keeps a-comin'.
Merci.
merci, merci, merci...
Merci pour cet album merveilleux (encore un autre)! Juste une petite chose: tes derniers rips semblent être en mono, et la couverte de cet album dit stereo. Ce n'est que moi qui a ce petit probleme?
Salut Calumbinho,
je viens de vérifier, Femi et Poly-Ryhtmo sont bien en stéréo. par contre, black santiago et National Jazz sont en mono. Cela viendrait de Rapidshare?
Pouvez-vous re-télécharger l'album s'il vous plaît?
