A tremendous Afro-Soul album recorded in Togo in 1977 by Itadi Bonney. Original pressing in mega clean condition...Rare!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� Itadi Bonney, a native of Togo, West Africa, is an international musician who is a composer, arranger, vocalist and guitarist.
