AB and deBuren, the Flemish-Dutch house of culture & debate, now work together to present a series of tasteful afternoon concerts. Music, sandwiches and soup, right near De Munt / La Monnaie, in the heart of Brussels Read: the perfect lunch break. For this third afternoon concert we’re going to grab a breath of fresh air for lunch, with Zandland.
Zandland
Jazz, and also a bit of cabaret, with Dutch-language lyrics is what we can expect with this new musical project from Niels Boutsen (also known as singer-songwriter Stoomboot) and saxophonist Marjan Van Rompay. Whereas Stoomboot’s starting point is the lyrics, Zandland begins with sultry and melancholy melodies blown by Van Rompay. With five musicians - vocals, saxophone, bass, drum and guitar – from the four corners of Flanders, their first album (also titled ‘Zandland’) is a poetic and diverse journey of discovery.
In the press
‘Zandland is een verassende, warme en sfeervolle songcollectie waarin Boutsen zijn tenor laat buitelen alsof hij pas ‘uit een bloempje komt gekropen’… Boeiend.’ **** (De Standaard)‘…een nieuwe band met een eigen geluid en poëtisch geladen liedjes over durven en dromen, over de dingen in ons hoofd.’ (Time Out, radio 1)
