Dja Dja Dja! Analog Africa present another finely-packaged collection documenting the fusion of rock, psych, funk, soul and even Latin sounds to the music of 1970s Benin and Togo, a whopping 10 years on from the original African Scream Contest. The comp s title stems from the fact that bands from the two small African countries took to screaming on their tracks, James Brown style, but don t let that fool you – this is no group of half-assed JB impersonators. Check the bubbly blaxploitation vibes of Les Sympathics de Porto Novo’s “A Min We Vo Nou We” or the sleazy lounge grooves of Ignace de Souza & The Melody Aces’ “Asaw Fofor,” with the shuffling organ line and De Souza’s shaky vocal delivery sounding something like The Doors In Africa. More to check: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou’s “Moulon Devia,” Lokonon André Et L Orchestre Les Volcans’ “Glenon Ho Akue,” Gnonnas Pedro And His Dadjes Band’s “How Much Love Naturally Cost” and Sebastien Pynasco & L Orchestre Black Santiago’s “Sadé” (sadly, it’s not about that Sade). 14 tracks altogether, pressed on double vinyl and housed in deluxe gatefold in fine Analog Africa style. Includes 24-page booklet containing photos, album art and extensive liner notes.
