The interplay between Moonlight's powerful and rebellious voice and the tension of rich guitar riffs transforms voodoo trance into a new and explosive style. A declared long-time favourite of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and Iggy Pop, Haitian Vodou priestess Moonlight Benjamin explores the roots of blues and rock in her latest release. Carried by a deeper and darker sound and Moonlight's unique voice, reminiscent of Alabama Shakes, Oumou Sangaré and Dr John, the album Wayo is a primal scream, a mysterious and mystical musical creation - almost shamanic - an incantation for liberation amidst raging guitars and driving drums
