Let's discover a new beninese band on Oro, the Negro Jazz de Cotonou, typical orchestra of the independence period influenced by Afro-Cuban and highlife rhythms. The leader of the band is Mathias Malaya. For me, this orchestra does not represent the golden age of beninese music but it remains an interesting discover.

I dunno, I really like this one. They seem to be really young, playing sketchy guitars, like Western sixties garage bands. Interesting too that this is strictly a guitar band, even though there's a horn player on the cover. Thanks again!
