L'orchestre Poly-RythmoLes couleurs SAQThe powerhouse Orchestre Poly-Rythmo (or Poly-Rythmo to devotees) has been grooving hard since the late '60s.Famed all over Africa, the Benin collective specializes in Afro-funk, is said to have recorded some 500 albums-some of which are virtually priceless today-and has accompanied such legends as Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango and Miriam Makeba.Rediscovered in 2007, they're currently riding a wave of well-earned popularity, with a recent album, Cotonou Club, featuring Anglique Kidjo.
