Hot Casa present a reissue of Itadi's album Inye. Afro funk and political soul from Togo. Recorded in the beginning of the '80s and self-produced by Itadi in 1983, this obscure album contained deep soul and controversial rare grooves backed by the five band members called the Afrofunk Band de Lomé. Itadi's music is unique, in his second album, he kept the same recipe: a mixture of soul, reggae, hi-life, and funk with heavy lyrics that sound like slogans -- this caused him big trouble after his release. He was obliged to escape the country to the USA. A real definition of a revolutionary musician! This deluxe LP contains two unreleased tracks. Also includes an interview and photos -- fully licensed by Itadi's family. Remastered by Frank Merritt at Carvery Studio.
