RE#ENCOUNTER QUARTET

Re#encounter is a hybrid trance‑jazz collective from Brussels that brings people together in festive concert‑ceremonies, floating somewhere between tradition and innovation.
With gnaoua grooves, cumbia chants, griot storytelling and ecstatic jazz improvisations, the band creates a whirling, dance‑infused soundscape that breathes spontaneity, cultural authenticity and depth, culminating in a worldly, one‑hundred‑percent Brussels signature sound.

A Re#encounter concert is never just a concert, but always a shared ritual for those who are willing to let themselves be “converted”, if only for a moment.
In November, the group will appear in its large formation in the Turbine Hall. For ENTR, the collective performs as a quartet.
