It is an exception in the musical landscape of Togo.

It is even a new group in West Africa.

Arka'n Asrafokor, a phenomenon of African trash metal, still little known in the West, has been causing a sensation for more than 10 years on the continent.

With their first album Zä Keli, the Togolese are preparing to conquer the French public this Friday, July 22, at the Festival of Music from Here and Elsewhere in Châlons-en-Champagne.
