Muziek uit Togo
do 23 mei 2024
From Togo’s capital city of Lomé, the Togo All Stars display a vigorous rhythm section and three sturdy voices deeply rooted within the afropop traditions, stemming from the independence era, be it high-life, afrobeat, funk, reggae or even gospel music.
Serge Amiano has been living in Lomé for a few years now. He is the mastermind behind Togo All Stars’ meeting of two generations. He confronts younger musicians playing in the shadows with older voices long thought to be tarnished under elusive limelight.
Tireless talent scout and energy catalyst, Amiano paved the way for the Togo All Stars to happen; in the same manner he did it for Fanga, a celebrated French afrobeat collective in the last decade. Korbo, Fanga’s singer is featured on the Togo All Stars’ first, epnymous album (2017).
