"Weather Report meets Fela, you might say. They are good enough."
This is how Rick Sanders of fRoots magazine wrote about Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble.
HCE's story is rather unique. In january 2012 three musicians from Helsinki, Finland followed their dream and travelled to Benin, West-Africa. They hooked up with virtuoso singer/percussionist Noel Saizonou, called up the best musicians from the country's biggest city Cotonou, and so was the first edition of Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble born.
