LES GOÛTS DE GAND 2018

On Saturday 19 May, "Les Goûts de Gand" will touch down in the Macharius district for the 12th time. The district around the historic Sint-Baafsabdij and the adjacent Coyendanspark attract artists from Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Congo, India, Romania, Senegal, Slovakia, Turkey, Syria and Palestine ... (and then we may have forgotten a few). The whole neighborhood is transformed into a unique musical setting.
The Coyendanspark becomes a "Feria Mundial", a world market where you can eat and drink and buy all kinds of stuff.
A not to be missed free city festival on the spot where Ghent originated ... on 2 days before the International Day of Cultural Diversity.
With a.o Nilson Matta, Radio Martiko, Team Latino, DJ Pacha, Bleri Lleshi, Raju Thapa, Damast duo, Emilia Kirova & Dean Pavlov, Ömer Ulutaş, Raffaello Visconti & Friends, Tamala trio, ZEM, Le Tagarel, Suman Sarkar & Suprotik Sengupta, The City’s Song: Ramallah Sessions, Masters of Ottoman Sufi Music, Alpacas, The London Klezmer Quartet, Bal Mundial & …
