Boowa and Kwala as a Musical group

Boowa & Kwala actually started as a music group. I made the first album (12 Sing Along Songs) in 1998 consisting mostly of existing songs, but with some original compositions.

No record company wanted the album, so Véronique and I created a website, and the rest is (as they say) history :)

The second album, 53 Bright Songs was released along with the TV series in 2007. This time, all the songs are original compositions.
