Tchinkounme is, most certainly, a rarity that's hardly been spoken of outside of the continent, but is the epitome of the musical quality found within the label's output. Thanks to the wonderful orogod blogspot, Tchinkounme surfaced a few years ago, but spread to very few. Hailing from Benin, the same nation as Albarika Store, Gbofan's style borders on the ancient tradition known as 'Zinli', otherwise known as funeral music that has roots dating to the Kingdom of Dahomey. Tchinkounme music is similar to a blend of Highlife and Zinli, and Gbofan's interpretive touch engraves engaging call-and-response vocal techniques and wonderful percussion that simultaneously imparts hypnosis and a feeling of freedom. * All materials presented on this channel are copyrighted by their respective copyright owners, and are subject to use for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!
