The hit-making machine from Benin

For almost three decades, the T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo band was cranking out hit after hit in West Africa. Its members were so prolific that in their prime they were issuing hits every three weeks. Now, some of their more obscure "B-sides" have come out on the compilation, "West African Beat: Rare 7s and EPs from Benin and Niger."
