"Rårå"

From Vodou Alé

After their first European performance in 2015 at Roskilde Festival led to many other performances all around Europe, including WOMEX and WOMAD, Haitian traditional vodou band Chouk Bwa met the Brussels based duo The Ångströmers in 2016. Their new project combines dub with Haitian rhythm science and spirituality. The expanded ensemble performed in Haiti and at European festivals including Trans Musicales de Rennes before releasing Vodou Alé on Bongo Joe in 2020.
