T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou first formed by bandleader ClĂ©ment MĂ©lomĂ© in 1968 under the name “Orchestre Poly-Disco” in the coastal town of Cotonou, Benin.
Their debut album was originally released in 1973 but from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, the group released and recorded some of the finest afro-funk the world has ever seen.
This compilation showcases and highlights some of the best bits but really we’re only just scratching the surface of this legendary bands vast archive.
“T.P.” stands for the French “Tout Puissant”, which means “All Mighty”.
