Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Se Ba Ho

“Se Ba Ho” is the opening track from the new Poly-Rythmo compilation “Echos Hypnotiques”. It is without doubt one of the most powerful “Sato” tracks ever recorded (Sato is a vodoun rhythm played during burial ceremonies).

I am feeling this beat!

Eliades Ochoa’s cover of Gnonnas Pedro’s “Yiri Yiri Boum.” Dig it.
