Description
Release Date: 18th July 2025
“Over the past few years Acid Jazz has been the proud custodian of the legendary Albarika Store label, which produced some of the finest, deepest West African cuts of the last century. Based in Benin, the label was a melting point of local sounds and talent, fused with wider influences in funk and soul, rock and psych and of course Afro Beat. This first-time reissue of Tidiani Kone et T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo sees the Malian horn maestro team up with the label mighty leading act for two mesmerising sides of extended jams. Like many Albarika cuts, it was recorded at EMI in Lagos, offering a fidelity almost unheard of in rare African records. Presented on a beautiful recreation of the original sleeve, with the audio remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering, a delight for serious Afro collectors and passing fans alike.”
