Polyrhythms
Benin's Orchestre Poly-Rythmo has been making music for over 40 years, and while they are considered legends in West Africa, few in the West know about them. They'll make their Toronto debut on Friday and our music columnist Errol Nazareth says the show is going to be phenomenal. On the show this morning, Errol played tracks from Cotonou Club, the band's first album in 20 years.
