Vaudou Game

About

Vaudou Game doesn't just make music; they conjure a sonic ritual. Fronted by Togolese singer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Solo, the band exhumes the raw, electrifying funk of 1970s Togo, injecting it with a shot of contemporary cool. Imagine Fela Kuti jamming with Giorgio Moroder in a Lomé nightclub. Their sound is a hypnotic blend of traditional Togolese rhythms, searing guitar riffs, vintage synthesizers, and Solo’s commanding, soul-stirring vocals, delivered in a mix of Mina and French. Vaudou Game’s breakthrough came with their self-titled debut in 2014, which catapulted them onto the international scene. They weren't just another world music act; they were breathing new life into Afro-funk. Tours across Europe and North America followed, solidifying their reputation as a formidable live act. Solo's dedication to preserving and reimagining Togolese musical heritage, while simultaneously pushing its boundaries, sets Vaudou Game apart. Notable collaborations include work with artists who share their penchant for blending tradition with innovation. Their recent work continues to explore the depths of Togolese Voudou culture, translating its spiritual energy into pulsating, dancefloor-ready grooves.
