Born as a saxophone \/ drums duo in Berlin in 2009, Electric Vocuhila has become an
\nelectric quartet in 2011. The band mixes rhythms inspired by several urban African musics
\nlike s\u00e9b\u00e8ne from Congo, ethio-jazz or tsapiky from Madagascar, to an orchestral
\nconception from jazz and more precisely from Ornette Coleman\u2019s harmolodic music. On
\nan obstinate rhythmic base always moving, alternately hypnotic and frantic, their music is
\nfreely built around repeating units. Seeking both melodic succinctness and a kind of
\noverflow and trance, the quartet is developing long sequences made of dazzling themes,
\nsinuous phrasing and sharped & explosives riffs.
\nA cheerful and urgent call to dance!
\nElectric Vocuhila is part of the Capsul Collectif, located in Tours (FR).<\/p>\n
