Short intro

For its second album, Benin's Gangbé Brass Band turns up the heat to scorching. The ten-piece outfit, first championed by French band Lo'Jo, follows in a small tradition of African brass, but pushes the whole idea outward. Chanted call-and-response vocals work into horn and percussion lines, all underpinned by a deftly blown euphonium. The Gangbé Brass Band is a 10-member Beninese musical ensemble founded in 1994. The word gangbe means sound of metal in the Fon language. They blend West African jùjú and traditional Vodou music with Western jazz and big-band sounds. Their unusual instrumentation--trumpet, trombone, and sousaphone, along with West African percussion and vocals--is, to some extent, part of West Africa's colonial legacy French colonial officers imported brass instruments and trained local musicians to play.
