The Belgian singer Chrystel Wauthier did gather some of the best jazz musicians for embarking them in a personal venture with a more pop wiff. After « Before A Song » and encouraged by André Manoukian, she is back with a sensitive and instrospective album « The Stolen Book ». Sometimes a bit of lightness is necessary for having strong emotions pass. It is the feat the singer Chrystel Wautier - a grand daughter of Ukrainian migrants who were in the heart of several conflicts - accomplishes by evoking, through a pop and jazz music that is free of any conformism, the forgotten and sometimes painful family story. Her voice has a lot to do with this music, that is full with hope and freshness. Her singing is incredibly soft and clear. Surrounded wçith musicians who are as sensitive as her, the singer brings often a tear to our eyes, whether it is for happiness or for melancholy. Admission: 15€ / 7,50 € (13-25 years) - Preorder: 12€ / 6€ (13-25 years).

75-jähriges Jubiläum des Endes des Zweiten Weltkriegs

Traditional American music is indeed at the origins of a complete serie of current music crazes. What about going right up to the roots and taking you there, to these intense moments during which pioneers, slaves did all invent? « Musique Acoustique asbl » had its appetite whetted after Old-Time Bluegrass « The Straps » local group's concert that had been attended by over 600 people in 2004 on the occasion of the outing and the promotion of their first CD, « Appalaches ». The success, the atmosphere and the conviviality of htat evening made this association want to do it again in the same authentical and countryside setting of the Roiseau farm in the hamlet of Hamawé, with a somehow changed formula. For this reason, it organized the very first Belgian Bluegrass festival : Hamawé Bluegrass Festival. The festival whose name was turned from"Bluegrass" to "Roots" (raçines), expanded its horizons...Place: ferme du Roiseux, 1 km outside Ethe towards Saint-Léger
