Vaudou Game is one of the most exciting bands on the scene. Peter Solo, singer and composer of the band was born in Aného-Glidji (Togo), birthplace of the Guin tribe and place of voodoo culture, just like the whole region of Togo and Benin.
Vaudou Game combines voodoo rhythms, raw afrofunk and soul, and the music of the band recalls the sound of legendary bands like Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou and El Rego from Benin. The idea of integrating the haunting voodoo lines, sung in honour of the Divinities, into energetic 70s afrofunk, is, in Peter Solo’s mind, an obvious extension of the analogy he found between this voodoo tradition and trance inducers such as the soul, funk, and rhythm ‘n blues of James Brown and Otis Redding.
