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.
15 September > And now...time for the krakebs!
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!
08 August > Brassafrik and Bagadski hit the recording studio!
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!

Biography
Selfmade drums, soundobjects and the metal-trance of Moroccan krakeb are the pounding heartthrob of this wild and trashy powerbeatformation. With the same ease their music refers to laidback Brazilian countryside as well as to urban nervosity. Drum 'n bass, trip-folk, dance-trance, maracatu, neolithic or postnuclear: this contemporary folkfunk combines the best of quite a few worlds in hypnotic partyvibes.
The flexibility of the band allows them them to perform in all types of interventions, parades or afterparties.
