Next show: Brussels, Thu 14 Jan
A homegrown, underground world fusion act.
re#encounter brings some of Brussels’ most soulful voices together around a trance-driven exploration of afro-diasporic music and its global connections: trance ethnographer Robbe Bey Latré (NAFT, M.CHUZI), gnawa maestros Hicham Bilali, Ismaïl Akharraz & Ayoub Boufous (Black Koyo), thunderous griot Kaito Winse (Avalanche Kaito), cumbia shamanka Paula León (Indios Beta, AMAWA), rising star Lúcia Pires (Kanda), space jazz poet Joos Vandueren (BSFOE, Abstract Inc., Aligaga), groove wizard Falk Schrauwen (Echoes of Zoo, Compro Oro, Sylvie Kreusch), & bass mother Anaïs Moffarts (Araponga, AiFanamenco). Gnawa grooves fuse with cumbia chants, griot storytelling, and ecstatic jazz improvisation in a vibrant, danceable soundscape that breathes spontaneity, authenticity, and an affinity for all things sacred. More than a concert, a re#encounter is a living ritual — merging music, storytelling, participation, and movement into a powerful shared experience.
re#encounter plays a hypnotic hybrid of trance jazz, fusing afro-diasporic rhythms, traditional Gnawa grooves, and ecstatic improvisation.
