Charly-Charly (Tognibo Akande) – Liberte Au Zimbabwe (Ivory Coast, 1970s, Tognibo)

For today, I wanted to share with you “Liberté au Zimbabwe“, a killer groovy deep Psychedelic Afro Soul Funk track, taken from an ultra hard to find single self-released in the 70s by the really obscure Ivorian composer & musician Tognibo Akande (also known under other aliases such as “Charly-Charly” or “Tognito Charles“) who seemed to have release only 5 singles (any further informations are welcome !) – Enjoy !
