    Radical Vodou roots for urban audiences

    Rendition of Haitian voodoo

    In September 2016 Haitian vodou band Chouk Bwa (WOMEX 2015) met the Brussels based duo The Ångströmers. This new project combines a deep dub sensitivity and Haitian rhythm science and spirituality. 

    Modular synths and other vintage electronic instruments bring another dimension to Chouk Bwa’s music, although obviously it is always the band’s groove and fluent tempo that leads the energy of the ensemble: no laptops, no drum machines. There are certain freedoms that cannot be coerced. Even more, the electronic instruments are wired directly to the drums that feed them with impacts and caresses. All the Vodou families are there with their many rhythms and songs. 

    Radical Vodou roots for urban audiences

    This new ensemble had their first performances in 2018 and were selected at Trans Musicales de Rennes in 2019. In May 2020 they released their first album via Bongo Joe, which received much praise in the press. They are ready for touring in the EU in 2022.
