Nana Benz Du Togo is a five-piece band from Togo that blends voodoo traditions with electro, soul, and afrobeat. The result is an infectious burst of energy that will drag you onto the dance floor without mercy and make you lose track of time.

The band is named after a group of influential women from Togo who gained fame in the 1970s by selling African wax prints. And you can hear that reflected in the music of Nana Benz Du Togo, which sounds just as colourful, humorous and empowering. The five members operate like the five fingers of a hand. Ready to make a fist and strike powerfully. But also to caress you gently with softness and grace.

Armed with nothing more than their voices, PVC pipes, drums made from recycled materials and a vintage Korg keyboard, they create a sound that is both raw and danceable. Their live shows are nothing short of spiritual – a mix of ancestral energy and modern spark that has sent thousands of people into a trance on stages across Europe. After their amazing performance at North Sea Jazz last year, they are now ready to set GROUNDS on fire.
