After the acclaimed 'Vodou Alé' released in 2020 and two 12"s in 2022, Chouk Bwa & The Ångströmers strike back with 'Somanti,' an album that digs again into Haïtian vodou and electronic experimentations. Brutally separated by the COVID crisis, the band went back on stage in 2022 and performed about thirty concerts in Europe. Between two concert series, they took the opportunity to record their live set. The connection between the well-preserved vodou tradition on one hand, and analog electronics on the other hand, gets deeper and deeper, with also a kind of rage due to the incredible difficulty of the world. The musical result is wild and full of twists and
blasts. It's in-your-face.
