Dios

The Promise is the fifth and final studio album by Vaya Con Dios. It was released in 2004, the first studio album of the band since 1995. It is the first (and only) Vaya Con Dios album with songs in Spanish and German. "Es wird schon wieder gehen" had been previously sung on the Purple Prose album…

Vaya Con Dios (Spanish for "Go with God!") 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 10 million albums and more than 3 million singles.

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.

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!
