Biography

This is more an invasion than a performance, with a euphoric riot of musicians weaving in and out of the throng, overseen by a megaphone-wielding High Priestess invoking the spirits of celebration.

Delving deep into the heart of the tropics, this globe-trotting ensemble straddles a whole range of pan-Atlantic sounds: Columbian Cumbia, Cuban Comparsa, New Orleans Jazz, Mississippi Blues, Nigerian Afrobeat, Jamaican Ska and Ghanaian Highlife.

The musical melange of relentlessly syncopated beats and squealing trumpets is an abundantly joyous salute to the roots of carnival, with a line up of sousaphone, trombone, trumpet, baritone sax, tenor sax, alto sax, clarinet, vocals, military drum corps and Latin percussion.

Since its formation in 2012, the ensemble has graced the halls of the Royal Festival Hall, got down and dirty with festival-goers at Secret Garden Party and Bestival, entertained Russian oligarchs and everything in between!

Available as a small band or a larger invasion of dance, drum and brass, Voodoo Love Orchestra are as happy parading in the streets as they are on stage.

Voodoo Love Orchestra is perfect for: Festivals, carnivals, parades, Halloween events, club nights, Day of the Dead celebrations, private functions
