Orchestre National Les Volcans
Republique Populaire de Benin
VGLP 0006 1976

From 1976 we’ve got this groovy album with Orchestre les Volcans.
They played a sweet and funky type of music coming from Porto Novo
Benin. In those days called Dahomey. The were the official band of the
national Gendarmerie or Police. I particular like song no. 5,
30 Novembre 75. Listen and see what you feel ..

Uit 1976 hebben we vandaag dit groovy album met Orchestre les Volcans.
Ze speelden een zeer fijne funky soort van muziek uit Porto Novo Benin.
In die dagen nog Dahomey. Ze waren de officiele band van de Gendarmerie
ofwel de Politie. Ik ben in het bijzonder geraakt door no. 5,
30 Novembre 75. Luister en kijk wat jij erbij voelt ..

    Thanks Moos!
    I wondered about the date and found this.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_Benin: The People’s Republic was established on 30 November 1975, after the 1972 coup d’état led by Marxist and nationalist general Mathieu Kérékou in the Republic of Dahomey.

    The labels show 1977, but that’s just a little detail.
    Thanks Moos
