Voodoo Funk: Peter Solo and "Awuyaga"

Our random tune for today is called Awuyaga and is performed by Peter Solo. A native of Togo, Peter Solo now lives in France and is steeped in the vaudou, or voodoo, music and culture of his home country. He takes vaudou music and its traditional instrumentation and rhythms and infuses it with elements of James Brown funk and Fela Kuti afro-funk into a cocktail he calls vaudou funk. You can find Awuyaga on his 2013 album Analog Voodoo.
