With origins in France’s popular art form of street performance, Lo’Jo began as the musical accompaniment for mythological and political mime, circus, acrobats, and even a film collective. These roots still show in their performances, sound and lifestyle. Over the years, the Angers, France-based group has developed a communal culture and a taste for West African, Gypsy and Caribbean music. And like no other band on earth, they are able to combine these disparate soulful sounds into seamless sonority that will strike you from your philosophical head down to your dance shuffling feet.
