Stockholm Vodou Orchestra plays new composed music described as West African beat and asphalt oozing jazz with a scent of classic composition and folk music with plenty of space for improvisation.
Current project is "Aurelia och Vodouorkestern" -in collaboration with dance hall/afrobeat, reggae and folkfusion artist Aurelia Dey. The music is being composed autumn 2023/beginning of 2024 and released on Rythm Works Records 27th of October 2024 with a release party at Pygmeteatern in Stockholm. More info here.
Lyrics on relevant topics, the music showcase a mix of old and new. Focusing on identity, inner-self, spirituality and humanity beyond skin colour. All set up in a context inspired by traditional west african ceremonies. Partly aspiring to reach young/teenage audience, concerts were taken place 4th and 6th April 2024 at Teater Reflex, Kärrtorp, Stockholm.
