About Me


Joe Amouzou’s latest album ‘Mist of Charms’ weaves together traditional African and World music with contemporary styles such as Soul and R&B. To Joe, the album is the realization of a long standing dream which in turn reflects his African roots. In creating this album, he moves between various African styles; the song “Djonkey” is a powerfully energetic “Gazo” rhythm from Togo West Africa; “Sentiment” is what he calls his “Togo Blues;” and “Koko Song” is a beat-driven West African Highlife rhythm similar to the Caribbean “Soca.” Reflecting the musical African Diaspora, Joe then moves into a reggae vibe with the song “Guilty” (which has also been made into a music video) and an Old School/R&B flavoured track, “Nature of The Beast.” It is obvious that Joe Amouzou appreciates world music culture, as the sounds of the Tabla, Doom-Doom and traditional African Bell can also be heard. The album ‘Mist of Charms’ features world-class musicians, one being Denis Ziebart on Hammond Organ, Triton Synth & Steinway Grand.Affiliated: Select FM Internet Radio , Conseil Culturel et Artistique Francophone de la BC , The Afro News , African Music Radio , Afro Gold Pages , Channel M

Joe Amouzou – Mist Of Charms (Rossignol Records)

While today’s pop may be polished to perfection and manufactured for mass appeal, charm is one element that seems to have been sacrificed in the process. Joe Amouzou 's new album, ‘Mist Of Charms’ was crafted with an artisan’s touch. The disc was a two year labor of love, which drew on his personal experience with many different styles of African music and his extensive repertoire of global and contemporary rhythms. As a composer, writer, arranger and singer, Togolese-born Amouzou takes a ‘hands-on’ app roach to his music. Mist Of Charms is a mix of Afro Jazz fusion which charms the listener with an array of songs and styles that offer both personal insight and universal appeal. It's a finely crafted recording that draws on his passion for the global rhythms and the added skill of some of our city’s finest players.
