YAWO

Proud son of the Ewe people, this citizen of the world has been inspired by the likes of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Youssou N’Dour and Sting. He selflessly promotes peace, dialogue and tolerance with a sense of generosity and optimism. His gift for composition and musical arrangement, his fluency on guitar, bass and flute, his world travels and his desire to promote the International Movement for Innovative Music-Togo he launched, have all led him to explore the boundaries of ancestral rhythms with a jazzy edge, while incorporating afrobeat, afrofunk, afropop and reggae grooves.
