This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are roads. Airports. Festival fields. Radio studios. Backstage absurdity.
2000 A digital leap. Among the first Belgian bands to make their music available for download online.
2002 Newcastle. A camera in the metro. A music video taking shape between stations. North Shields. Pool tables. Grass. Festival days.
2004 A human project. Two pages in fROOTS. Songs travelling beyond borders.
2006 Vodelée. The first steps of what would become AfroBelbeat. Jaune Toujours meets the Gangbé Brass Band from Benin.
2010 Copenhagen. Viking helmets in the front seat. Tour logic at its finest.
2012 Diksmuide. Belgium meets Benin. Brass, reeds and rhythms finding a shared language.
2017 Open Air am Berg. Music under open skies. Crowds gathering before the first note.
2023 Bremen. Summer Sounds. A referee’s chair turned into a band portrait. Because musicians rarely use things as intended.
Different roads. Same curiosity. Still travelling. Still collaborating. Still finding new ways to make noise together.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.
