Al-Karavan sets foot at Le Senghor - 07/08/2019

Al-Karavan sets foot at Le Senghor

The project Al-Karavan is a series of nomadic musical encounters, paying tribute to the first generation of Moroccan migrants in Belgium. On September 20 and 21 the musicians set foot at Le Senghor in Etterbeek. Featuring a.o. Les Fatmas de Belgica, Laïla Amezian & Les Sheikhs Shikhats and Remork & Karkaba.

Al-Karavan travels between Brussels and Ghent. From January till June 2019 a first series of encounters took place, bringing together four musical genres. On one hand, the amateur choir Les Fatmas de Belgica and the classical Boho Strings’ Quartet. On the other hand, the eight singers from Les Sheiks Shiktas and a couple of musicians from the Belgian jazz and world music scene. The result is a festive double bill which pays tribute to the first generation of Moroccan migrants in Belgium.

After previous concerts at De Centrale in Ghent, Al-Karavan set foot at Le Senghor in Etterbeek on September 20 and 21. MetX was also part of the program:
