Dogo du togo
Combining Togolese festive and ritual rhythms, hypnotic voodoo melodies and provocative lyrics that speak to a new generation of young Africans, Togolese artist DOGO du Togo has managed to embody the heart and soul of modern Togo with his debut self-titled album DOGO du Togo (to be released Oct. 28, 2022).
SONGLINES
With Avoudé, Dogo du Togo makes a dynamic leap from the stripped-back sound of his 2022 debut to an electrifying full-band experience. Recorded in just 48 hours with The Alagaa Beat Band, the album is a vibrant, psychedelic journey filled with brass, retro synths and hard-hitting Afro-rock beats. Dogo’s decision to rework three tracks from his debut album is a bold and brilliant move.
RFI
“The Togolese artist Dogo du Togo releases a new album Avoudé, imbued with Togolese culture, history, and tradition, while sounding modern and intriguing. An exciting and delightful record composed by the singer and guitarist Serge Massama Dogo.”
POPMATTERS
“Massama Dogo’s laid-back solo debut as Dogo du Togo two years ago proved his well-honed chops with a fairly sparse backing soundscape. As good as it was, though, his new album Avoudé, recorded with his tight-knit Alagaa Beat Band, makes for a thrilling sophomore surprise.”
KLOF
