Various Artists

A treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings mostly recorded in Lome (Togo) during the '70s and '80s . A fusion of traditional voodoo chants, raw Soul and even Electro Funk.

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. A wonderful selection here that evokes a golden boomtime in Togolese music history.

Includes biographies and rare photos, and comes in a nice gatefold sleeve.
