about

Contains elements of "Yiri Yiri Boum" by Gnonnas Pedro.

"Yiri Yiri Boom" features Afro-Cuban sounds from 1980's Benin (Western Africa), thick MPC-style hiphop beats, gorgeous strings, reggae-tinged keys, and synths that hint towards Spark Arrester's influences from performing alongside heavy hitters in the world of electro-soul.

"Gnonnas Pedro's "Yiri Yiri Boum" was released on his "El Cochechivo" album in France in 1981 on Ledoux Records. For many years, I have loved the rhythms of West Africa and I am always exploring new sounds from this part of the world. I recently stumbled across the music of Gnonnas Pedro from Benin and have been on a mission to scoop up as many of his releases as possible. I highly recommend checking out his solo work as well as music by Africando, Orchestre Poly-rythmo de Cotonou, and Pedro y Sus Panchos."
