"Indiqué sur la jaquette : A Porto-Novo au Dahomey (actuellement Bénin) en 1969, à l'occasion de divers rituels accomplis au palais par le roi, pour "changer l'année" notamment, ses femmes exécutent une suite de danses. Celles-ci forment un véritable ballet de cour. Les quatre premières parties, chargées de signification symbolique, se font au rythme de quatre tambours différents, associés aux quatre points cardinaux. La cinquième partie s'exécute sur une musique presque purement vocale, composée par des poètes, la sixième et dernière partie - le finale - met en oeuvre, au contraire une bruyante batterie de tambours de calebasse. Le roi lui-même, accompagné de ses ministres, vient, au gré des circonstances, danser en compagnie de ses épouses. Version remaniée de "Danses des reines à Porto-Novo" (1971), ce document est complémentaire du livre "Un roi africain et sa musique de cour", du même auteur, publié par CNRS Editions."
"Summary: The wives of the King of Benin perform a ritual suite of dances for "changer l'année". In the first four dances they are accompanied by four types of drums, symbolically associated with the four cardinal points. In the fifth part the music is almost purely vocal, and in the finale the accompaniment is a battery of drums."
"A reworked version of the 1971 film "Danse des reines à Porto-Novo" produced by the Comité du film ethnographique, Musée de l'homme, Paris, France. The documentary, filmed in 1969 in the royal palace, shows a suite of ritual dances executed by the wives of the king of Porto Novo, accompanied by drums and vocals."
