African Scream Contest – Raw & Psychedelic Afro Sounds From Benin & Togo 70s

Analog Africa No.3 – AFRICAN SCREAM CONTEST
Raw & Psychedelic Afro Sounds from Benin & Togo 70s

‘African Scream Contest’ is the third release by the Analog Africa label. The project initially took off in August 2005 when label owner and vinyl collector Samy Ben Redjeb arrived in Cotonou, Benin, ‘without any special expectations, just hoping to lay my hands on few good records – what I found in the process cannot really be described in words’. This first trip was followed by eight more to the region. Thirty months and few thousand records later Analog Africa proudly presents this 14-track compilation.
