Finding these tracks and their rights holders hasn\u2019t become any easier even after few trips all over this west African country bordered by Ghana, Benin &amp; Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<p>Hot Casa Records decided to select 13 tracks, a snapshot of some hundreds of rare and often forgotten tapes from the most prolific, professional and exciting phase of the country\u2019s recording history, including international stars like <strong>Bella Bellow<\/strong> (who even performed to Maracana stadium in Brazil), or <strong>Roger Damawuzan<\/strong>, compared as the James Brown from Lom\u00e9, and forgotten tapes and brilliant songs in Mina, Kabyi\u00e9 and Fon languages. Many of the tracks featured here are peppered with innovation and experimentation highlighting how diverse the music scene in Togo was at the time, even if the political context influenced their creation.<\/p>\n<p>A must have for all music lovers, also used as the soundtrack of the documentary <em><strong>Togo Soul 70<\/strong><\/em>, directed by Liz Gomis &amp; DJ Julien Lebrun!<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tM0mlEDyloc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Togo Soul 70 is also available as Gatefold vinyl 2LP w\/innersleeve &amp; CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRACKLIST:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A1.
