Vol. 1 by Orchestre Les Volcans Du Benin
Originally released in 1980 on the Albarika label, 'Orchestre Les Volcans Du Benin Vol. 1' has long been a holy-grail LP for Afro-Cuban music aficionados.
It now sees it's first official reissue through Acid Jazz and is available on digital platforms for the first time, with four infections tracks, including 'Oya Ka Jojo': Latin dancefloor dynamite, and a DJ must-have.
