T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo & Assa Cica


I would like to go deeper into Poly-Rythmo's sound with a prodigious record composed by Assa Cica, a famous Beninese singer (check out a very nice and recent clip from him on Youtube). That's why I'm using the "Black Square" from Kasimir Malevich for illustrating this post. Assa Cica is special. He is a poet, close to Sagbohan Danialou in his lyrics as well as his music style. I really don't know when this album was released, i think between 1976 and 1978. Lohento Eskill is singing on all tracks except on "Ananu Dogon Nu" and "Gnon Nu Fomin Lin" where Assa make us discover his beautiful voice.




Je voudrais vous emmener plus loin dans Poly-Rythmo avec ce disque génial composé par Assa Cica, un chanteur béninois célèbre et toujours vivant que vous pouvez découvrir dans un récent clip sur Youtube. Je me suis permis d'utiliser le fameux "Carré Noir" de Kasimir Malevich pour illustre ce courrier particulier. Assa Cica est un poète, proche de la nature et musicalement proche de Sagbohan Danialou. Je pense que cet album a été enregistré entre 1976 et 1978. Lohento Eskill chante sur tout l'album excépté "Ananu Dogon Nu" et "Gnon Nu Fomin Lin" où Assa Cica nous dévoile sa voix d'ange.

I think there may be a problem with Mediafire here. It keeps saying 'No servers are available with the requested data, please retry in a few moments'. But I've been trying for six hours, so maybe something's up??

THANKS as always. I got Rapidshare to work on second try. Had trouble with another site's Mediafire after yours. Seems that everybody in the universe is downloading for Christmas, swamping the servers. Thanks again!
