About this Event

Combining Togolese festive and ritual rhythms, hypnotic voodoo melodies, and provocative lyrics that speak to a new generation of young Africans, Dogo du Togo & the Alagaa Beat Band embodies the heart and soul of modern Togo in his music. Led by Massama Dogo, the psychedelic and infectious dance floor groove that makes the "alagaa beat" is a brand new sound that puts Togo's roots and culture on the musical map. “Alagaa means ‘trance’ in Ewe, one of the languages spoken in Togo…. The alagaa beat brings the energy right away…. It just feels different, it takes you somewhere else” (KLOFmag.com). “Dogo du Togo’s music bursts with brilliant shades of funk, rock, and older West African traditions, familiar elements that come together in fresh sounds” (popmatters.com)
