For many people, the Togolese music scene may still be somewhat of a blind spot in the West African musical landscape; the country is sandwiched between Ghana, Benin and Nigeria, and for their sound, Togo All Stars mix together highlife, vodun and afrobeat into an irresistible stew. The Togo All Stars are a hotchpotch of young lions and veterans from the Togolese music circuit, and the driving force behind the project is French producer Serge Amiano, also known from his work with French afrobeat-formation Fanga. Only a handful of the tracks on this self-titled debut ('Trouble Trouble', 'Way Out Of Sadness') are sung in pidgin English, so we can only guess what the lyrics of the other tracks are about, but that this music will make you groove is beyond doubt!
