Voilaaa is a project by French house producer Bruno 'Patchworks' Hovart, with whom he explores African music and tropical disco. Given the extensive tour schedule in Africa, his music is taken very seriously there, even though he plays almost all the instruments himself. He gets his inspiration from highlife, funk and makossa. As far as the latter is concerned, he draws largely from the sound of
… the tenor saxophonist Manu Dibango, who died in 2020. On Voiciii this Lion Of Cameroon gets an extensive tribute with the songs Manu Écoute Ca and Tenor Jam For Manu. Besides that, this album contains a lot of cheerful, uptempo African party music with light western disco influences. His music is so popular in Africa that singers are lining up to join in, both during performances with his traveling sound system and during the recording of his albums, of which Voiciii is already the third.
