Hot Casa France 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Togolese Afro-funk band Vaudou Game has been responsible for some of the most essential music on Hot Casa Music, so the arrival of a new single from them following an extended absence of three years is positive news indeed. A-side 'Bella' is little less than superb: a sparkling slab of Afro-soul in which spacey Moog lines and the band's own distinctive vocals ride a gloriously sunny, percussion-rich groove. They revert to their trademark up-tempo Togolese Afro-funk style on B-side 'Be My Wife', which adds Highlife style guitar motifs and more spacey synth sounds to a stomping, club-ready rhythm. Sun-soaked brilliance: don't sleep!

Review: After teasing with a couple of singles from it, Togolese Afro-funk band Vaudou Game finally unveil their new album Noussin. The band has been responsible for some of the most essential music on Hot Casa Music and this record continues that with lush Afro-soul, percussion rich groves and tight, funky rhythms all interwoven with spacey Moog and distinctive vocal. Elements of highlife define the trilling sounds of 'Bella,' 'Lady Bobo' is more straight up Afro funk and 'Tu As Deconne' is a super high speed chase with 60s guitar riffs and compelling ad libs.
