I have to say, it's great to see people posting so many things I've never heard of—all the more for me to check out!

They were
an afrobeat group from Benin in the 1970s. I love, love LOVE 60s-70s afrobeat; I never tire of it (same with any and all afro-cuban jazz/African psychedelic funk and blues from that same time period)
I
think I first heard them on the African Scream Contest compilation
here which is of course excellent.
