Originally released in 1980 on the Alberika label, Orchestre Les Volcans du Benin Vol.1 has long been a holy grail LP for Afro-Cuban aficionados. It now sees it's first official reissue on Acid Jazz Records, with four infectious tracks across the two sides, including latin dancefloor dynamite and a DJ must-have, Oya Ka Jojo. Remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering and presented in a wonderful color sleeve, it's an opportunity to finally own this special and highly sought after LP.
