Orchestre Poly-Rythmo Tours North America in July
Did you know that legendary Benin funk band Orchestre Poly-Rythmo is touring North America this summer? The ten-piece ensemble regrouped and dropped an excellent new album last year called Cotonou Club (see our review) and is sure to bring out the crowds and turn each date into a momentary, frenetic West African dance party.
