"A treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings mostly recorded in Lomé during the 70's and 80's . A fusion of traditional voodoo chants, raw soul and even Electro Funk. Featuring stars Akofa Akoussah, Gregoire Lawani, Roger Damawuzan compared as the James Brown from Lomé and some forgotten tapes and brilliant songs in Mina, Kabyié and Fon language. Many of the tracks featured here are peppered with innovation and experimentation highlighting how diverse, the music scene in Togo was at the time even if the political context influenced their creation. Many of the original albums these tracks are taken from reach high prices online due to their rarity and so it's with great pleasure that we present a selection here that evokes a golden boomtime in Togolese music history.
