Dios

Belgian band Vaya con Dios released several albums for Ariola Records during the late '80s and '90s. Formed in 1986 around Dani Klein, Dirk Schoufs, and Willy Willy (Willy Lambregt), the trio combined influences from blues, jazz, and Gypsy styles. Some of their best material was collected on Best Of, released in late 1996.

Vaya Con Dios was a Belgian music act, that stood out for its mixing of blues, jazz, and Gypsy styles, as well as the distinctive voice of its lead singer Dani Klein. It was one of the most successful Belgian music acts ever, having sold more than 7 million albums and more than 3 million singles. It was founded in 1986, but after 1991 Vaya Con Dios was for the most part a one woman band, centered on singer, lyricist, band leader and (co-)producer Dani Klein, reinforced by an ever-changing selection of musicians. In 2014, Dani Klein performed her last international tour under the Vaya Con Dios formula. Vaya Con Dios officially disbanded with their last concert on 25 October 2014, in Forest National.

CNR Records Belgium are truly proud to present to you : the brand new album ‘SHADES OF JOY’ by international stars VAYA CON DIOS, their first in almost 2 decades. It all began when leading lady Dani Klein was stuck in Brussels during the pandemic lockdown. Not being able to go to her home in Andalucia, she decided to make the best out of a bad situation. Together with Thierry (Plas) and François (Garny), the three started working together on a daily basis at Thierry’s Zoo Studios. New songs, inspired and forced by the circumstances. Once the arrangements ideas were completed – and the lockdown was history – musicians came in to play the parts. Sometimes asking them to improvise as well. And after a little more than two years the album was finished. ‘SHADES OF JOY’ is a vintage Vaya Con Dios record. And with an 8-page booklet with beautiful photo’s of the band. Vaya Con Dios is back, and back to stay!

Vaya con Dios burst onto the scene with their premier album, simply breathtaking. Powerful lyrics, enchanting music, and fantastic sense of song. That powerful voice by Dani Klein… She will recreate the rythm of a slowing train by singing syllables of a line, she will lay her heart with emotion coming from the song, and she will recreate any situation or scene she sings about with her intuitive knowledge of the song's atmosphere…

It was more than 20 years ago that Dani Klein, Dirk Schoufs and Willy Lambregt put out the debut album of their Gypsy-blues trio known as Vaya Con Dios. They were decidedly eclectic: a blend of blues-soaked lounge, Latin-infused pop and Memphis soul. But from the first sexy, sassy hit single Just a Friend of Mine, the band became a household name in Belgium. Two years later, with the release of the second album, Night Owls, international fame was theirs. Music fans thirsting for soulful beats after the synthesised New Wave that had been dominating the airwaves ate the quirky Belgian band up, making hits out of both the fast, jazzy guitars on Nah Neh Nah and the slow, sultry Dani Klein classic What’s a Woman.

Vaya Con Dios (Spanish for "Godspeed!") was a Belgian music act, that stood out for its mixing of styles, as well as the distinctive voice of its lead singer Dani Klein. It was one of the most successful Belgian music acts ever, having sold more than 7 million albums and more than 3 million singles…

This album touches all your emotions. Dany Klein, the lead singer, immediately captures the attention with a voice that is clear, strong and so rarely encountered. This particular album offers a little jazz, a little soul, playful popular song as "neh neh neh" but most importantly Vaya con Dios' lyrics bring you back to a time when music was meant to win you by the feelings it conveyed with words and melody not with flashy music/dance videos…

"Comme on est venu", is the new album by the famous Belgian group Vaya Con Dios leaded by the magical vocalist and songwriter Dani Klein. Unlike VCD's earlier albums which have songs in multi language but mostly in English, this new album released in 2009, is consisted by songs in French only…
