About
Gyil player Bex Burch returns with her uniquely energetic and intense vibe. Vula Viel means Good is Good in Dagaare, the language of the tribe in Upper West Ghana where Bex lived, farmed and studied for three years. Vula Viel's music is intensely rhythmic; an edgy mix of African, post-punk and minimalist influences, based around the Gyil (a Dagaare xylophone made of sacred lliga wood), imbued with the music of Steve Reich, Bill Laswell and Arthur Russell, as well as jazz. Their new album 'Do Not Be Afraid' is released in January.
