We catch up with Santrinos Raphael, a singer-songwriter from Togo, who in the past few years has established himself as one of the great voices in francophone West Africa and has broken out on the global stage.

Santrinos is mentored by the footballing legend Emmanuel Adebayor, has collaborated with Ghanaian musical superstar Stonebwoy, and in 2023 was nominated for a prestigious AFRIMMA award for best west African male.

Santrinos has set up his own recording label in an effort to grow Togo鈥檚 fledging music scene, and this year he finished his master鈥檚 degree in marketing and communications. He鈥檚 just released his third album, Belle Vie, which includes chart-toppers such as L鈥櫭塵inence and On ne va pas divorce.
