    Various Artists – TogoPop: Marche Noire

    July 12, 2023 - By 

    I realized I didn’t have many records from Togo listed on the blog, so, going down the rabbit hole, I found this curious compilation on TogoPop Records.  It sounds NOTHING like what I was expecting.  If anything, the artists on this compilation sound more like they were influenced by French 1980s Cold Wave and Italo Disco.  It’s a weird record, and brilliant for it.

    Vaudou Game – Pas Contente

    December 19, 2022 - By 

    Though these tracks are from 2014, this scorcher by Vadou Game, one of Togo’s funkiest bands, features two tracks that will appeal to funk aficionados, especially the title track.  Also, James Brown fans, take note.  You’re going to love the grooves on this tune.
