FERRY DJIMMY & His DJI-KINS (1971-1975)




I never mentioned remarkable beninese artist Ferry Djimmy, and for good reason, I have no record of him. Thanks to Pierre (Jam Magica) and Nuno (Kêtu Records) I can share this first Ferry Djimmy's album. Ferry Djimmy is always backed by an Ivorian band, The Dji-Kins, which was resident of famous Apollo club of Cotonou. Danialou Sagbohan notably made his debut with this band. I don't know who is the drummer of the band but he is for sure terrible. Unfortunately, on the this first Ferry Djimmy's album, recorded in 1971, i have only found three titles to share. Sorry


Je n'ai jamais évoqué Ferry Djimmy, artiste béninois remarquable, et pour cause, je ne possède aucun disque de lui. Grace à Pierre (Jam Magica) et Nuno (Kêtu records) je peux partager ce premier album de Ferry Djimmy. Ferry Djimmy est toujours accompagné par un orchestre Ivoirien, les Dji-Kins, qui on fait le bonheur du public béninois dans le club Apollo où ils résidaient. Danialou Sagbohan a notamment fait ses débuts avec cet orchestre. Je ne sais pas qui est le batteur de cet orchestre mais il est redoutable. Malheureusement, sur le premier album de Ferry Djimmy, enregistré en 1971, je n'ai trouvé que trois titres à partager. Désolé.


On the second record, distributed in 1975, and posted by famous Radiodiffusion blog, we can find the same funk style music influence that pleases european auditors. Ferry Djimmy and his Dji-Kins band had such tremendous talent that their funk style is universal.

Sur ce deuxième disque, enregistré en 1975, et posté par le fameux blog Radiodiffusion, on retrouve ce même style et influence funk qui plait tant aux européens. Ferry Djimmy et on son orchestre ont un tel talent que leur funk est universel.

You say the drummer is terrible in the English part...which means epouvantable, not formidable (as in French). Just a faux ami, I assume!

Merci...

Nicolas , tu serais gentil de citer tes sources, "sur la toile" veux parfois dire sur Jammagica, pourquoi ne pas être précis ? J'ai passé pas mal de temps à retoucher cette photo de pochette pour en arriver là !
