Roi De L'Agbadja Moderne 1974-1983
Gnonnas Pedro’s “Mo Ngbadun Re” - a song written to pay tribute to Nigerian and Beninese musicians - would change the trajectory of Analog Africa, forever.
Artist: Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band
Genre: African Jazz/Funk/Psych
Label: Analog Africa
Release date:
And while the Nigerian artists were more or less familiar to Samy (the label founder), when Gnonnas began singing about ‘Picoby’, ‘Renova’, ‘Annasoua Jazz’, ‘Super Borgou’, ‘Super Star’, ‘El Rego’, ‘Black Santiago’ and other bands from Benin that he’d never heard of, he was driven to find out more. The conclusion of this musical experience was that if a star like Gnonnas Pedro sang about these bands it could only mean that he knew something that we didn’t. Could it be that the Benin Republic had more to offer than its size suggested? There was only one way to find out. Samy arrived in Cotonou in August of 2005 and that´s how a Gnonnas Pedro song brought Analog Africa to Benin, and the rest is history.
