Lo’Jo has developed its unique world music profile ever since singer and keyboardist Denis Péan and violinist and kora-player Richard Bourreau first got together 30 years ago in their hometown of Angers, western France.
The six-piece band makes music unlike any already in existence, freely crossing stylistic boundaries, Its kaleidoscopic sound bringing together French chanson, elements of jazz and sophisticated pop, reggae and dub, circus and cabaret music, klezmer and East European Roma tunes, West African and Maghrebian traditions. And Péan’s rough-edged Tom Waits-like voice contrasts beautifully with those of sisters Yamina and Nadia el Mourid.
Lo’Jo’s compelling and imaginative music takes you on a sonic sea-voyage, and celebrates a sense of multicultural community.
