Artist Biography For Vaudou Game

Among The Fruits Of The Convergence Between African And Afro-American Musicians There Is One Lesser-Known Genre That Hails From The Cradle Of Vaudou Culture In Togo Benin And Whose Key Figures Poly-Rythmo Of Cotonou Dama Damawuzan Or El Rego Have Since The 1970′s Had Their Popularity Confined To Afro-Groove Fans.
Specific To This Region Of Africa Is The Use During Vaudou Rituals Of Characteristic Lines That Differ From Everything One May Hear In Neighbouring Cultures. The Idea Of Integrating These Haunting Lines Sung In Honor Of The Divinities To An Energetic 70′s Afro-Funk Was An Obvious Extension In Peter Solo’s Mind Of The Analogy He Found Between This Vaudou Tradition And Trance Inducers Such As Blues Funk As Well As The Rythm’n Blues Of James Brown Otis Redding And Wilson Picket. Peter Solo Heard This New Sound Coming Through Him And Named It Vaudou Game. Peter Solo – Lead Vocals & Guitar
Vicente Fritis – Keyboards Backing Vocals
Jerôme Bartolome- Saxophone Percussions Backing Vocals
Guilhem Parguel – Trombon Percussions Backing Vocals
