Vaudou Game

What happens if you mix the swinging rhythms of James Brown with the mesmerising tension of Togolese voodoo chants? You’ll get the highly danceable and eccentric sound of Vaudou Game! With unstoppable energy and rousing melodies, they will make GROUNDS shake and will send you back home très contente.

Led by charismatic frontman Peter Solo, they bring a joyful mix of afrofunk, soul, blues and repetitive voodoo that is guaranteed to turn any concert into a delightful dance party. In a tight and hypnotic way, they honour nature and bring the audience into an ecstatic trance. To celebrate life together and put a smile on your face.

For their 5th album, Vaudou Game’s influences have spread beyond the city and country limits, crossing the Atlantic to reach Colombia. Still acting under the supreme authority of funk controlled by the esotericism and mystique of the voodoo scale, Vaudou Game unites the hand of highlife with that of cumbia above its head. Peter delivers his messages hidden behind his unremovable mask: whether dealing with political or human and ecological subjects, he is always sure to mask them under a thick layer of sarcasm and humor in order to put them into better use via a joyful and dancing trance.

After previous passages at GROUNDS and performances at Into The Great Wide Open, North Sea Jazz, Zwarte Cross and many other international festivals, they are once again ready to overload us with a heavy dose of African sunshine. So prepare yourself for a scorching hot night!
