This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are about festivals. Others are about the roads between them. And sometimes, they’re about everything that happens around the music.
2001 Brussels. Fête de la Musique. A stage on the Grand Place. A concert on in a harbour. Black-and-white memories of long summer evenings.
2005 Brussels. Café Belga. An audience close enough to sing along.
2009 Fusion Festival. Lärz. A stage called Datscha. A handwritten setlist. A crowd gathering as night falls.
2010 Brussels. The press conference for the Belgian, Spanish and Hungarian EU Trio Presidency. Music. Dance. Journalists. Cameras. An accordion and a megaphone finding their place in the middle of it all.
2013 Recording Routes. Studio jokes. Studio concentration. Friends from Gangbé Brass Band joining the sessions.
2015 Luxembourg. A stage selfie before the show. Brussels. Bal Moderne. A dance floor where everyone was invited.
2023 MillMash Festival. Wezemaal. Another summer stage. Another crowd. Another chapter.
Different years. Different audiences. Different reasons to play. Still making music. Still crossing borders. Still collecting stories.
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.
