FVR 153EP
|
Voilaaa is one of the many projects led and produced by Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart. Voilaaa now presents a new four-track EP, which will be followed later in 2019 by a new LP. Another killer package where Patchworks teams up again with longtime partner Pat Kalla, but also with newcomers to the project, like here Ramatou Traore and Ayuune Sule, both bringing great African languages vocals to "Tu Mens Devant Moi" and "Woman Can Do".

Double LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Voilaaa is one of the many projects led and produced by Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart, who has proven, over the past 15 years, his place amongst the finest producers of groove music in all genres. On Voilaaa's first album On Te L'avait Dit (FVR 107CD/LP, 2015), they explored the wide spectrum of the African and tropical disco scene and received massive international support. Pursuing the same direction of combining the festive, yet sometimes futile nature of disco, and the instinctive, deep, sometimes rough nature of African music, Voilaaa's presents its second full-length effort, Des Promesses. The 13 tracks of the album meet the expectations, and Voilaaa have not finished feeding international dancefloors with heavy Afro-disco music. Alongside Bruno at the production are singers Pat Kalla and Sir Jean providing their carefree lyrics and Afro vibes, and Senegalese artist Doctor Lass comes to extend the team, with three brilliant titles, including a great funky cover of Salif Keita and Les Ambassadeurs Internationaux's classic, "Mandjou". Also features: Hawa, Fouley Badiaga, and Tout Le Monde.

Pursuing his explorations of international funk and disco music, Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart continues his Voilaaa project, following the 2015 Spies Are Watching Me/Le Disco des Capitales 12" (FVR 106EP) with the project's debut album, On Te L'avait Dit. Following such projects as The Dynamics, Mr President, Mr Day, Patchworks Galactic Project, and Taggy Matcher, Patchworks now returns to his first love and specialty, disco, and draws upon African and Caribbean influences. Indeed, funk and disco were extremely influential in these regions, just as they were everywhere in the '70s and '80s, and in most cases, the combination of the festive yet sometime futile nature of disco, and the instinctive, deep, sometimes rough nature of African music sounds like a perfect balance. Aiming to recover this energy and specific sound, Patchworks quickly began producing a few tracks using his unique beats and basslines as foundations and adding guitars, keyboards, and brass distorted with vintage and DIY effects pedals and boxes. Patchworks decided to work with local singers and accompany them on their individual musical paths -- the result is deeply authentic music, as unveiled on Spies Are Watching Me/Le Disco des Capitales alongside Sir Jean and Pat Kalla, both of whom appear on On Te L'avait Dit. The album's ten tracks form a tireless string of hits, with a few more brilliant collaborations with Renaud Bilombo and label-mates Hawa and Fouley Badiaga.
