Bewitching, raw & rootsy vintage dance music from around the globe, 100% vinyl!
★
Vintage Voudou celebrates dance music from every corner of the globe, showcasing tunes deeply rooted in local traditions — music that nourishes the soul, captivates the ears and is irresistible to dance to. With selections ranging from Ghanaian Highlife to Tamil film music, Colombian cumbia, Greek tsifteteli, and Surinamese kaseko and beyond, Edo Bouman tirelessly seeks out the most infectious dance tracks from the golden age of vinyl, spanning the 1950s to the 1980s, creating a vivid tapestry of global music history, rediscovering rhythms that shaped dance floors and cultural traditions across the world.

For over 15 years, Vintage Voudou has been Amsterdam’s leading specialist in vintage tropical music, organizing parties, spinning records, and selling rare vinyl. The bimonthly Vintage Voudou party kicks off with a listening session before setting the dance floor on fire with the warm-blooded, analog sounds of vintage music with human-made rhythms. Each edition we invite top DJs/ Collectors in the field to share their music and to give us an introduction into the music they love in the listening session.
All music played from original, often exceedingly rare, vinyl and sometimes shellack!
