Organikka presents: Voilaaa Soundsystem (Live)

Afro-disco project working as a live sound system, with turntablists, a master of ceremonies and live effects. Its set at Marula Cafe is built on improvisation around its records.

Voilaaa Sound System has spent ten years building a project conceived as a sound system rather than a DJ set. Its format brings together turntablists, a master of ceremonies and live effects, following the structure of the Notting Hill Carnival, and its sound is afro-disco in its sound system strand.

On stage, the core trio consists of Bruno « Patchworks » Hovart on the decks, DJ Freakistan and Pat Kalla on the microphone, joined by a rotating group of collaborators from Lyon. Their records, starting with On te l'avait dit, revive the spirit of 1970s Lagos and Abiyán with a modern, self-produced approach. According to Hovart, the sound system does not play back recordings but improvises according to what the moment calls for, so anyone who comes looking for a particular track may not hear it.

They have released four albums and a live show which, according to the project itself, is an unpredictable extension of the records rather than a literal translation of them. This is the first time the project performs at Organikka. Marula Cafe is a Barcelona venue that hosts concerts and shows.
