Apiafo is a 12 track album, entirely recorded, mixed and mastered from old analog tapes, and played with vintage instruments, recalling the sound of bands like Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou or El Rego!

Peter Solo invited his uncle, Roger Damawuzan, famous pioneer of the 70�s soul scene in Togo, to sing on �Pas Contente� & �Wrong Road�. The result of their collaboration is without a doubt two amazing future dancefloor classics!

The idea of integrating these haunting lines, sung in honor of the Divinities, to an energetic 70's Afro-funk style, was, in Peter Solo's mind, an obvious extension of the analogy he found between the voodoo tradition and trance inducers such as Soul, Funk, as well as the Rhythm �N Blues of James Brown or Otis Redding.
