West African polyrhythmic funk puppet orchestra

November 12, 2007

Thank you to The Gaslamp Killer for this. Portrayed bouncily by their marionette counterparts is Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotnou Dahomey and their nimble-footed romp through mid-70s West African funk “Minsato Le, Mi Dayihome”, which was featured in 2005 on the David Byrne-compiled World Psychedelic Classics 3: Love’s a Real Thing.

The everyday musings, unamusings, and musical tendencies of a man slowly going blind and losing talent -- the missing Dufresnes is a non-profit blog recently established in the purpose of sharing all of the above (plus an ever-flowing stream of cultural absurdities) with friends and strangers far and near.

All files posted herein are for sampling, and are not hosted by the site. Please support the artists featured here by buying their music. And please contact me directly if you're an artist or copyright holder and would like your song removed; I'll do so in a jiff. I do not have the money or will to fight you! In fact, I would like it if we could become friends -- musician or businessman you and poor I. Just think of how pleasant that would be! It's really something.
