Music Meeting @ Muziekpublique

The Malian Trio Da Kali is a unique group bringing major talents together in one single ensemble. The group’s singer, Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, is none other than the daughter and musical heir of Feu Kassé Mady Diabaté, the legendary singer that performed at Muziekpublique in 2014. Mamadou Kouyaté is the son of Bassekou Kouyaté, inventor of the popular N’goni ba, and Lassana Diabaté knows how to play the balafon as no one else.

Sometime midway through the 1990s, Piet Maris (frontman with the acclaimed Euro roots outfit Jaune Toujours) began to make contact with gypsy musicians and, through their guidance and contacts, to travel regularly to a Roma community in Slovakia. Through the latter, the ever curious musician learned their gypsy style of playing.

Traditional music from the heart of Mexico

After a very long break, the broodje Brussels midday concerts are back! And we begin directly with a very big name, coming from Mexican music. Ramón Gutiérrez Hernández is a musician and an instrument maker, but he is particularly known as the leader from the legendary band Son de Madera, the flag ship of the son jarocho.

Her approach to music is based on contact with nature. To access a natural, present musical moment within the group, she encourage students to center themselves away from the noise and distraction of technology and stressful day-to-day activities. Lessons will include breath training, vocal or instrumental scales and exercises, polyphony and overtone technique, circle singing, choral songs, improvisation, and (most importantly!) listening to the silence and the sound of nature.
