Brussels will be going mad on the 22th of May! That's the day that the Zinnekeparade rolls thrue the capital with a number of 'zinnodes'. MET-X will be there too, with its 2 zinnodes 'Potironsoep' and 'Enzyme'. To get a preview of Enzyme, just check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCEyP1_0YX0
Last week, the Bagadski's hit the streets of Bologna during the preparations and also the final parade of what is called 'The silence Performance'. Check out your knowledge of Italian, click on the link and look for the Bagadski's on the following movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noriqRHhdHE
You will find more information about 'The Silence Performance' on http://belbobru.org
Be aware! This friday 2 october at 19h, the Bagadski drums will resound within the walls of the 'Muntplein', during the try-out of the 'Silence Performance'. The actual premiere of this parade with marionettes, performances and percussion will take place next week in Bologna. The parade starts at the 'Muntplein' and passes through the 'Grote Markt' to reach its final destinaton: Recyclart. There, Bagadski will start a concert at 21h, setting the tone for an unforgettable partynight!
Can you feel the rhytm run through your vains (or not particularly but you would just love to play some percussions)? Do you go crazy when you hear drum'n bass, dance trance, tripfolk and maracatu? Do you go wild when you imagine that all of this is actually possible?
Look no further! Register now for Bagadski 'Beginners' and you will participate in the Zinneke Parade 2010!!
The rehearsals start the 28th of september and will take place every monday at 17h (address: Bottelarij, Denaunoystraat 58, 1080 Molenbeek)
Registration is free, just give us a sign via sara@met-x.be.
It's hard labour for the Bagadski's at the recording studio, Said is demonstrating that! Can't wait to listen to the tracks? Hang in there, they're coming right up!
During the next weeks, the grooves of Brassafrik and Bagadski will be eternalised ! The musicians will be entering a professional recording studio to make a demotape. This will put a spell on many ears without any doubt. Next summer, even more people will dance on the music of these 2 groups!
To be continued...
We're setting up lessons of krakeb (Big marockin metal castagnettes) and Gnawa dancing beginning the 8th of January. The lessons will start at 7 and end at 9. They are open to anyone older than 14 and free. You can begin participating at any given time.
They're taking place in De Vaartkapoen, Jozefstraat 12 in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek.
We hope to see you at one of the lessons!

Bagadski is preparing a brand new repertoire you cannot resist! Traditional African rhythms from Benin are combined with the most exciting elements of the rest of the world. Self made drums and sound objects are the pounding heartthrob of this drumband with roots in Brussels.
This energetic crowd will bring you a performance that is tailor made for festivals, parades and any other festivity crazy enough to handle them!
Out there soon!
Jean Gnonlonfoun: Artistic direction and coordination.
