About Itadi Bonney

Itadi Bonney, a native of Togo, West Africa, is an international musician who is a composer, arranger, vocalist and guitarist. Itadi's music is a blend of Ghana's high life and Zaire's soukous to create a sparkling, undulating and emininently danceable weave of melodies and rhythms, punctuated by hot brass and layered with smooth vocals and harmonies. Itadi has toured France, Ghana, Benin, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and U.S. Itadi's lyrics are in English, French, and African dialects (Mina and Akposo). Mark Jenkins, the Washington Post [Friday, May 21, 1999; Page N34], notes: "Bonney's 'Bakula (Let's Dance)' features West African pop's customary elements: jaunty rhythms, chiming, finger-picked guitar and exuberant call-and-response vocals." He continues: " Most of these 10 songs ... are ... infectious ... joyous" and "...such tunes as "Nadeke Ma Hia Wo O" ("You Shall Not Want") and "Aga Mimi" ("Poverty Is a Pain") are as fluid and upbeat as a protest song can be."
