Following to this former article, I wanted to share with you for today “Homin Si Tche“, an uplifting 70s funky 11min long Afro Soul Soukous from Benin with catchy horns, furious guitar rhythm & Soukous flavors, taken from one of my favorite albums of the mythical “Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly Rythmo De Cotonou“, recorded in 1978 at the mythical EMI Studios in Lagos (Nigeria), with the help of the legendary sound engineer Monday Oki, and released in Benin on the famous local record label “Albarika Store”.

Instant feel-good beninese Funky Soukous as only the almighty Poly Rythmo can play, hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !
