Music show: Laura Prince retraces her African roots on 'Adjoko'




In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Franco-Togolese singer Laura Prince. She’s just released her second album “Adjoko”, a voyage between memory, identity and authenticity. “Adjoko” is Laura’s Togolese name, and symbolises her quest to reconnect with her African roots. She produced the record between France, Togo and Ouidah in Benin, a port town famous for its dark role in the slave trade. She also references her West African links to slavery through her name Laura Prince. It’s an homage to author Mary Prince, the first Black woman to publish a book about her experiences as a slave.
