Rato Venance – True Love
(Mobio, 1978)
During the sixties Rato sang in teen bands all over West Africa. In 1973 he left the Ivory Coast for Europe and became the founding member of Bozambo, one of the hottest African groups in Europe in the 1970s. Later in France he initiated a movement that led to the establishment of the Centre Paco Rabanne, the foremost place in Paris for African music and culture.
