Jaune Toujours

In the organizer's words:

Explosive, irresistible - Belgium's world music export No. 1! Jaune Toujours are back and better than ever! Since the mid-1990s, this Belgian collective has been serving up a brilliant mix of grooves with horns and accordion. With the energy of a rock band (without guitars!), the improvisational talent of a jazz combo, the adventurous spirit of musical explorers and the charisma of street performers, they deliver poetic and poignant reflections on society. Add a touch of typical Brussels self-irony and you have the recipe for a party like no other.

Like their home city of Brussels, Jaune Toujours are an explosive mix of languages, styles and cultures: rock, dub elements, Balkan, brass and gypsy, it's all there! The band, led by charismatic frontman Piet Maris (lead vocals and accordion), has earned a fantastic reputation far beyond the borders of Belgium through its performances and is a permanent fixture at festivals worldwide. They give their all on stage, their music aims straight for the hearts (and of course the feet...) of the audience, and the intelligent, poetic lyrics also tell of their sincere social commitment. Their live shows are one big party, extremely lively without losing sight of the musical quality and far removed from any clichés.

"Their music is energetic, explosive - their sound a mixture of rock, hip hop, Balkan sounds and jazz. The band's sound spectrum is now so rich that you can only marvel at it. "We play exactly the music we like," says Piet Maris, "and our lyrics speak from our souls, without compromise. We want to motivate ourselves and the rest of the world to raise social awareness. C'est parti!"(Veronika Schreiegg Bayern 2 Bayrischer Rundfunk)

"When the Belgians play in the club, the air burns, because their poppy ska-world-jazz-Balkan brew is hot as hell." (Westzeit)
