Malabika Brahma
Voice
Malabika Brahma is ambassadress of the Baul culture of the Bengal region in India and Bagladesh, rejecting the religious institutions and any kind of constitutional dogma, in order to propose a world based on human and humanity. Music has been the vehicle of this oral tradition through the ages.
Thomas Baeté
viola da gamba
The moment you play or sing music from a distant past back to life, two things happen: you make an instant, personal connection with that past, and at the same time you create something completely new and unique to that very moment.
The meeting of these seemingly opposite currents form the waves Thomas Baeté rides when he performs, researches, teaches and directs early music.
His instruments are the viola da gamba and the medieval fiddles, which he also uses to accompany his singing.
Tristan Driessens
oud
The son of a nomadic family, Tristan Driessens traveled throughout Southern Europe during much of his youth. In Spain, he became acquainted with Sephardic and Andalusian music and first came in contact with the oud. Founder of the Lâmekân Ensemble, a Turkish-Belgian collective as well as the project Refugees for Refugees. Enough matter to travel far!
Renaud CROLS

The "Renaud Crols Gypsyjazz trio" presents a selection of some standards of the jazz repertoire by Django Reinhardt, garnished with some pieces of Latin America and Brazil, personal compositions, and sometimes pieces of the Balkans... These three musicians have been playing together for many years in different bands, and their obvious musical complicity is a treat for the heart and the ears.
