I am working on Ghanaian women musicians and would love to be able to include Charlotte Dada live and in person with some younger women in Ghana. Does anyone know where to find her? Also that old film she did with her brother in the 70s?

[...] While most people will complain that Roberta Flack’s recordings and performances aren’t included on the DVD, I think I speak for all of us at Benn loxo when I say that the album is amazing except for the notable exception of easily the most important performer: Charlotte Dada. Once again, the unofficial voice of Benn loxo and the inspiration for a cat remains elusive.

[...] Let’s be honest here: at its core, Benn loxo is all about Charlotte Dada and the amazing variety of soul and funk music that came out of East and West Africa during the 1970s. Today we go back to these roots with some horn-infused, organ-induced, heavy-on-the-bass, yet still so African 1970s tunes from the Republic of Benin. [...]
