After several previous collaborations such as in ‘At’awo’, they now re-emerge as [Jiga-Vôo] with their brand new music and show. Jiga-Vôo’s first CD ‘Instinto’ will be released late 2009. The album brings 13 original compositions - a contemporary, sensual and powerful fusion of Afro-beat with Caribbean and South American rhythms & drums.
