Roger Damawuzan strikes again with Togolese funk whumper "Fine Fine"

Check out "Fine Fine," a new 7" release from Togolese funk great Roger Damawuzan backed by member of Vaudou Game.

Here's the scoop...

Since his introduction in the 60’s, he has lit stages on fire, whether it be with The Rickers Orchestra or with The Melo-Togo Orchestra (taking home 2nd place for the first National Festival of Tologese Music).

His first seven-inch vinyl, “Wait For Me,” is a holy grail for diggers all around the world. It was such a hit that Togolese music is and will forever be stamped by Roger Damawuzan. He was principal in introducing Gazo, Akpesse and Kamou rhythms to modern day soul music. Relentless and unstoppable, Roger Damawuzan is now making a comeback with a heavy funk 7 inch!

Such a force of nature, this album could have been only captured, if not mastered, by one studio. The mission was accomplished by the legendary studio OTODI (Office Togolese of Discs) by solely utilizing analog equipment to breathe all of Damawuzan’s soul into this album.

Such a force of nature, Roger Damawuzan could have been supported by only one group. Led by Peter Solo (who also plays guitar and sings backing vocals), the members of the Vaudou Game and Lomé’s most talented musicians are at Damawuzan’s disposal for this new DJ friendly vinyl release.
