Togo Soul 70
<p>
<strong><a href="http://www.hotcasarecords.com" target="_blank">Hot Casa Records</a></strong>, the independant label specialized in <strong>Afro soul and Tropical Funk tunes</strong>, is coming back this year with a brand new double vinyl project: <strong>TOGO SOUL 70</strong>. And this time, we'll bring a camera with us to show you the "behind the scenes" of this <strong>post-colonial soundtrack</strong> by interviewing the ones who made that 70's afro sound.</p>

<strong><u>THE STORY:</u></strong></p>
<p>
Republic of Togo gained its independance in1960. Despite a complex political context and authoritarian regime brought by General Eyadema in 1969, the 70's witnessed a vibrant and flourishing cultural scene.</p>
<p>
In Lomé, the radio stations are airing afro-american music like Ray Charles, James Brown or the latin sounds of Celia Cruz. Young togolese musicians get inspired by these sounds such as the singer <strong><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R1b07M_5Ac" target="_blank">Bella Below</a></em></strong> whose talent brought her to New York or Rio even at the Olympia Hall in Paris.</p>

<strong><u>THE PROJECT:</u></strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>TOGO SOUL 70 project</strong>, is the collaboration between <strong>Julien Lebrun, label Manager and Liz Gomis, journalist and director</strong>. Two friends that are combining their skills to relate the process of pressing a compilation of <strong>rare grooves in Africa</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
From the original quest, searching for vinyls and right holders in adventurous conditions (sometimes) to the contract final signature, we'll travel throughout Togo to witness the post-colonial story of the country by the prism of its soundtrack</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
More than a digging session, we'll highlight togolese culture through music. Music that you'll be able to listen in May 2016 on the <strong>double vinyl compilation TOGO SOUL 70</strong> (Hot Casa Records gatefold) </p>
