“With a very personal style and universal at the same time, TOGUNA flirts with Ben Harper and John Butler with its own strong personality. With this irresistible groove which characterizes them, the members of Toguna drew their musical environment, defined their artistic color, asserting a universe where the reggae dances with the rock, the soul and the funk. It’s intense and powerful, musical rainbow which flies over the genres, the styles and fashions.” Frankie Pfeiffer (Paris-Move, Blues Magazine Fr/Uk, Classic Rock UK) *** With the acoustic version or the full band, their powerful live show has been acclaimed in Europe, Japan, USA, Australia, South Africa.. and they will be on tour in 2013 to promote their new album « The Sweetlife experience » *** Led by the inspired singer/songwriter Sîla , surrounded by his friends Daoud Latchoumane & Kingsley Dinnaram, TOGUNA found its chemestry by touring across the world these last four years. Winning the “Best Band of the Year” award at the Trophées des arts Afro-caribéens 2008 in Paris, the band signed on Sakifo Records/Wagram to release its first album Sans Frontieres. *** With "In Colors", the second album, the ban touch a wider audience. Redefining more than ever a very personal style with a universal soul, this new album has been recorded in London with amazing musicians as Soul Sewell on bass and Richie Stevens on drums (Keziah jones, Patrice, Gorillaz, Joss stone), with great guests (Blue king brown from Australia), mixed by Ricky Ojijo (Ayo, Nneka) at Patrice’s studio in Germany and mastered by Tony Dawsey (Jay-Z) in New york. The band is now on studio recording the new songs, and will be on tour for the third album in 2013.
