Yedenou Adjahoui was born about 1930 in Avrankou, near Porto-Novo. He started music at the age of 12 with his brother and was initiated, at the same time, into Vodoun Sakpata, the god of earth. He was both traditional leader, healer and songwriter. Adjahoui was very popular because he had a great talent as a speaker and columnist. He was the master of rhythm Massè Gohoun, a traditional rhythm of the Goun tribe. He recorded over 50 records and about 30 tapes. He died in 1995.

Danialou Sagbohan: "Bio Guerra" (1987)





I have already posted this record from Sagbohan Danialou but it was in a bad shape. Here is a better version of great album released in 1987.




J'ai déjà posté ce disque de Danialou Sagbohan, mais il était en mauvais état. Voici donc une meilleure version de ce grand album sorti en 1987.

Yedenou Adjahoui et son ensemble


I suppose that this LP in stereo and with a good recording sound is from the late seventies. I would love to talk Goun language because I would be able to translate the poetry and chronics from Adjahoui.
The tune "Jesu Jiji" is a pure Kakagbo rhythm. Beware of Kaka, a powerfull warrior rhythm which is played by the famous "One man-band": Sagbohan Danialou.
