In 2004 Soundway Records released the album T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo The Kings of Benin Urban Groove 1972-80. The album showcases the band’s heady mix of hard afro funk, driving afro beat, deep afro-Latin and Cuban grooves that ruled the dance floors of urban Benin during the 1970’s. Despite being one of the most well known bands in their home country of Benin, they had been sadly over looked outside of Africa prior to Soundway’s release. Now for the first time ever in the UK the band are performing at the Barbican Center, London.
