APWW #717 Voodoo To Go Festival

Producer Morgan Greenstreet follows the trail of West African Vaudou spiritual music to a very unlikely place–Utrecht, Netherlands–for the first edition of the Voodoo To Go Festival. The three-day festival, pioneered by Togolese entrepreneur Leopold Ekué Messan, set out to demystify Vaudou/Vodun/Voodoo spiritual practices by featuring music and dance from Togo, Benin, Haiti, Cuba and Suriname and bringing people together for films, food and a panel discussion about “Good and Evil in Voodoo.” From the opening ceremony, to the climactic final moments of the festival, the music at Voodoo To Go was filled with the spirit: Trance-inducing traditional music from Togolese/Beninois diaspora group Djogbé; heavy, retro Vaudou funk from Togolese musician Peter Solo and Vaudou Game, based in Lyon, France; Surinamese Kawina music from Rotterdam-based dance band Dray-ston; Late-night Haitian Vaudou-jazz from Erol Josué; and, finally an intense collaboration between Cuban jazz maestro Omar Sosa and Togolese musician and dancer Ayaovi Kokoussé. Alongside the excellent music, we hear from various participants in the festival discussing what Voodoo means to them: a Winti priestess; fascinated Dutch music fans; and, of course, the musicians who make music inspired by the spirit.

Queen Asabia walks through a west African marketplace, comes across child street performers banging on rusted car parts. They follow her in a call and response chant, and I add my bass and tweakness to join in the fun.

Featuring the incredible Vicki Ray on piano.

For a class, I had to write my first graphic score as shown in the thumbnail. I decided to bass it on the seven deadly sins and the layers of hell (why not?). The pianist plays through the shapes in each layer of the circle and improvises based on what they see. In this recording, the piece is played two different ways. The first time, dimes were put into the piano to get a very interesting and effective sound. The second time, the piece was played more traditionally.
