"A sentimental fist-bump to Afro-Funk, Vaudou Game's album Otodi mixes traditional Togolese scales with a James Brown-style rhythm section intended for ritual dance. Lead songwriter Peter Solo attempts to conjure the spirits of voodoo, the very spirits he converses with daily ... Despite bordering on repetitive, the drive and the band's ability and willingness to sit on the front of the beat keeps momentum throughout. This feels like a funk-fuelled jam party you'd like to join for a night of light-hearted fun. It'd likely start as the sun sets and carry on until sunrise, with beaming all round".
