When listing one of Togo's revolutionary musicians, Itadi Bonney known mononymously as Itadi can't be omitted. He was a singer, composer, arranger, and guitarist known for singing a fusion of Ghanaian highlife and Afrosoul. His songs were themed around peace, unity, against authoritarianism, and political and social injustice. His debut album released in 1977 earned him a little fame before fleeing to the US because his life was in danger due to the "heavy" lyrics on the album.
