A tremendous Afro-Soul album recorded in Togo in 1977 by Itadi Bonney. Official license, pressed on a 180 g vinyl housed in heavy deluxe cover including an interview of the artist. Limited pressing of 700 copies. Check!!

This rare album was created by a four piece band formed and leaded by Itadi. It was recorded live in Ghana at the radio station and remixed in Togo.

A really stunning fusion of funky arrangements, jazz inspirations and typical Togolese rhythms, sung in English, Mina and Akposo.

The message was political, calling for African unity and against dictatorship which obliged him to move to Washington DC during the 70�s�
