Belgian Music Week - 15/02/2021

Belgian Music Week

The week of 8 till 14 February has been one big declaration of love to Belgian music. Together with VI.BE, VRT and the broad music sector, we’ve put homegrown music in the spotlight. On the menu: gnawa-jazz with MXDO @ Lagrange Points, MikMâäk @ De Bijloke, BWMN Showcase Night & much more!

Muziekcentrum De Bijloke invited MikMâäk together with the French top guitarist Marc Ducret. A cherished collaboration between two innovative, free-spirited natures! The concert, broadcasted last December via livestream on www.soundofghent.be, was rebroadcasted on Thursday 11 February as part of #unitedwejazz via Facebook.
