Text 5 Nov 12 notes Day 12: Fon Traditional from Poly-Rhytmo

So, anyone into Poly-Rythmo is well-versed in their funkier numbers (which Side A of this 7’inch is considered among), but for me it’s all about the B-side on this one - a traditional piece sung in their native Fon language.  A juju-esque (don’t quote me on that) sounding slow-swaying song that really demonstrates the wide-ranging capabilities of this band.  I got a few LPs, that’ll be posted soon, that go in a totally different direction and showcase their affection for Latin rhythms.  

WARNING: This one’s in pretty bad shape, but I had to share.
