This release is a 2-LP set featuring a collection of his songs recorded with the backing of Benin’s premier Afro-funk band, L’Orchestre Poly-Rythmode de Cotonou, and includes rare recordings produced from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.\n\nThe tracks on this album feature dynamic Congolese-style dance rhythms like the \"kavacha\" and rumba, intricately interwoven guitars, and a passionate horn section—all showcasing performances that capture the peak of Poly-Rythmode’s artistic prowess. This sound, a blend of Afro-Latin, funk, and the ritual rhythms of Vodun, represents one of the most creative moments in West African music of the 1970s. Doubé released his first album in 1977 and went on to release several more LPs and singles, but he disappeared from the music scene in the early 1980s. After falling ill in 1992, he moved to Parakou in northern Benin and passed away on September 20, 1996, in Cotonou, where he had once been active. Although he left behind few recordings, his original music and enigmatic persona are still talked about among record collectors today.\n\nAn undiscovered masterpiece of Beninese music where the spiritual culture of Vodun intersects with Afro-Latin rhythms. This highly anticipated reissue allows listeners to experience the vibrant grooves of 1970s West Africa, accompanied by the overwhelming performance of Poli-Ritmo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
