Vooduu Cabaret

London-based collective Ese & The Vooduu People, a diverse extended musical family led by guitarist-singer-composer Ese Okorodudu, present an hour of brand-new music and a few old Vooduu favourites.

Performing as a quartet (Ese on guitar and lead vocals plus drummer Kissangwa Mbouta, percussionist Mawulikplimi “Noel” Dossavi and keyboard wizard Jackson Baird) alongside a roving MC and an onstage dancer, the “Vooduu Cabaret” show will be a multi-dimensional, genre-busting spectacular that will provide a feast for the eyes and the mind as well as the ears.

Expect virtuoso musicianship, eye-popping visuals, thought-provoking lyrics – and the unexpected!

“A really cool band” – Iggy Pop (BBC Radio 6 Music)
“Ese Okorodudu’s command of a hybrid soul-funk-rock vocabulary and her pithy way with melody and lyric serves notice of obvious talent… the results are spectacular” – Kevin Le Gendre (Jazzwise)
“Superb… Hendrix-kissed… uber-talented” – Guy Shankland (Vive Le Rock)
“Blues and soul and rock ‘n’ roll. Go see and decide for yourself!” – Rhoda Dakar
