Piet Maris will be our one and only delegate for Choux de Bruxelles – artist collective, and therefore also for Jaune Toujours – at WOMEX 2019

A single delegate, because we want to minimize our CO2 footprint. Unfortunately, Womex sites are increasingly isolated and accessible only by airplane.
Of course, we will pay compensation, most likely to BOS+

Come and visit the Belgian stand #2.53

Choux de Bruxelles will be present at the annual Jazzahead tradefair in Bremen – Germany.

Come and meet us at the Belgian Jazz stand (booth nr. 6D01)!

Choux de Bruxelles has a long tradition of cooperation with refugees and migrants, in musical projects like Radio Transit, Mec Yek and Qotob Trio. With these bands, it has always been our aim to set up a long-term interaction. But, in view of the current events, we want to take it one step further.

During one month (22 Nov to 22 Dec ’17) we will offer the internationally acclaimed CD SuperDiverCity by Mec Yek at the reduced price of 10€. Of each sold copy the proceeds of 5€ will go Vluchtelingenwerk​ ​Vlaanderen. The other 5€ covers the cost price and VAT. That means we won’t be making anything on them, which in this case is absolutely how we want it.

Now, more than ever we want to do our bit to raise awareness and honour the many citizens who have been helping out in major ways (check the initiatives Hébergement Plateforme Citoyenne and Burgerinitiatief Overnachtingen on facebook ). So head over to our Choux de Bruxelles webshop or to Mec Yek’s bandcamp page and order SuperDiverCity. Not just for your enjoyment or that of the people you’ll give the CD as a present, but also for the valuable work of Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen. You can also buy the CD first hand during Mec Yek’s concerts on December 2. and 9. We’re counting on you!

This promotion is also part of De Warmste Week – Music for Life by Studio Brussel.

Sarah Baur made a new clip for Mec Yek: Pale Tsha Kalo is a tribute to Amy Winehouse, as recorded on the latest album SuperDiverCity. With the clip, Mec Yek takes part in a contest organised by the Amy Winehouse Foundation (Foundation working to prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people). You can watch the brand new clip by clicking the image above.

In the end of July, about a year after the release of our highly acclaimed album ‘SuperDiverCity’ (4 stars in Songlines), we are very much looking forward to play in Austria for the first time!

We’ll make some hips shake at the Glatt und Verkehrt Festival in Krems an der Donau on July 31. Genau!
