BOGGAMASTA

David Bovee was the first FES guitarist from 1999 till 2003. After four years he left the band to develop his own project "Think of One" (BBC Radio 3 World Music Award in 2004 and 2007). Whether they worked with throat singers from Greenland, Gnawa musicians from Morocco or Brazilian virtuosos, they achieved an exciting melting pot of music. The fruitful collaboration with Peter Vermeersch for the 'Theater aan Zee Festival' in Ostend in 2013 (an ad hoc orchestra with four Gambian musicians), triggered both artists to develop a new project. Meanwhile, David lives and works in Sao Paolo (Brazil) and knows the Maracutu, Frevo, Ciranda and Coco music through and through. For Boggamasta, Vermeersch and Bovee wrote an exuberant repertoire, got rid of the word Frevo, to bring their own direct, energetic and frenzied music: feverish, delirious and groovy, and lots of electro!
