ELECTRIC VOCUHILA

FRANCE
TROPICAL JAZZ
2019 2020 – ALL YEAR LONG

About

Electric Vocuhila is part of the Capsul Collectif, located in Tours (FR). Born as a saxophone / drums duo in Berlin in 2009, Electric Vocuhila has become an electric quartet in 2011. The band mixes rhythms inspired by several urban african musics like sébène from Congo, ethio-jazz or tsapiky from Madagascar, to an orchestral conception from jazz and more precisely from Ornette Coleman’s harmolodic music.

On an obstinated rhythmic base always moving, alternately hypnotic and frantic, their music is freely built around repeating units. Seeking both melodic succinctness and a kind of overflow and trance, the quartet is developing long sequences made of dazzling themes, sinuous phrasing and sharped & explosives riffs. A cheerful and urgent call to dance !


Major shows : Studio de l’Ermitage (Paris), Le Penn Ar Jazz (Brest), La Vapeur (Dijon), Le Pannonica (Nantes), Jazzdor Festival (Strasbourg), Gaume Jazz Festival (Belgique), Têtes de Jazz (Avignon), Jazzdor Festival (Berlin) | À Vaulx Jazz (Vaulx-en-Velin) | Crest Jazz Vocal (Crest)…


« […] the strange and cheerful band Electric Vocuhila. Those musicians come from free jazz and play African music as if it were rock. African music from today, with a preference for Malagasy tsapiky : electric guitar melodies and mad rhythms, for a kind of trance music close to the greatest rock. » Les Inrocks – 2017

« An explosive album alterning between endless loops, until inebriation ; lullabies and various musical inventions which communicate a furious call to dance. » Djam La Revue – 2017

« Here is a surprising quartet ! A blasting cocktail which lifts us from our seats and shakes our ‘institutional’ habits when listening to a jazz concert. Each track evolves and finds a multifaceted and sensational form.» Jazz à l’Ajmi

«Electric Vocuhila starts with a cheerful calypso (when was the last time we heard this kind of music on a contemporary jazz stage ?). A guitar, an electric bass, an alto sax and drums are enough to make everyone dance and forget the late night tiredness […] Through a celebration of hypnotic black musics from Africa and America […] Electric Vocuhila will lead an ecstatic audience almost until the end of the night. » Jazzdor Berlin 2016 JazzMagazine

« The music of Electric Vocuhila is a deflagration of sounds, one of which irradiates you and spreads in your whole body. It is impossible to resist to this call to dance : we are caught up by an insane pulse.» Citizen Jazz
