Susu Bilibi - Togo

Album Dziwo nefa - 1988

°Susu Bilibi", a modern African band from Togo, on the other hand, sets out to enrich its own local traditions, such as "High Life" with additional material from the Euro-American musical scene.

These musicians from Togo see themselves both as singers and prophets. They seek to reconcile the dark spirits of the soul with bodily pleasures by menus of their music and dance. Their music is percussive and they use Maracas (rattles), African bells, cleaves, Hooches and other traditional instruments. They sing in two Togo languages - Ewa and Ana - songs which tell of peace and togetherness.
