The Clay Pot Speaks – Contemporary Zinli | Benin Music

The Clay Pot Speaks is a radical contemporary Zinli track from Benin. Clay-pot percussion becomes rhythm, bass and breath while French spoken vocals, Fongbé ceremonial calls, iron bell and shifting silences connect Abomey’s ancestral memory with bold African sonic futurism.
