Lo'Jo en concert

30 years of musical journey! To describe Lo'Jo's music, one would have to draw on both a dictionary of world rhythms and an encyclopedia of universal harmonies. We would borrow adjectives like variegated, shamanic, polyglot, epic, we would wander from savannahs to deserts, from rivers to oceans, from meadows to asphalt, there would be rays of sun and clouds of dust, scents of rain, smells of fire and flavors of spices, hooting and ululations, fiestas and bivouacs. Not a catch-all sound, no, rather a large acoustic souk which would offer the Esbaudi customer aromas of tavern and gypsy scents, Apache waltz and Rasta bamboche, Berber blues and African swing, rock and belly dance, groove and voodoo. A hell of a Scholarly Bazaar with henna and cotton candy, muezzins and peddlers. It has already been 30 years since this angelic Angevin tribe has taken its heterogeneous and eclectic musical background around the world. Not a group, rather a caravan, a collective of dedicated travellers-tightrope walkers-globe trotters open to all experiences, all encounters. In a dozen records, the Lo'Jo band, coming from punk, jazz, rock, has explored as many musical directions as continents.

She fabricates sound, weaves breath, crunches words, explores the drone of the shruti, defies the blade of the saw, to carve a path towards color. At his side, two soul brothers accompany him, Sébastien Chevillard vocal embroiderer and folk “transeur” reveals the flight of a horizon in suspension, as for Guillaume Lagger, tamer of breath, he stirs up melodies and rhythms like a fabulous tightrope walker of the harmonica.
