Abel Ghekiere

Abel Ghekiere is a Belgian multi-instrumentalist with a sound that originates from minimalist jazz, traditional folk and field recordings. On his debut album ‘Before it disappears, and after’, traces of grief and loss sounded, an album that rocks along and consoles. In his new music he plays with more openness, softness and euphoria, which resulted in the album ‘In the distance, this view’. With this music he played at festivals like Gent Jazz, BRDCST, Leffingeleuren, Into The Great Wide Open and Motel Mozaïque and he was the supporting act for among others Alabaster dePlume, Black Country, New Road and caroline. On stage he plays guitar, clarinet and banjo, together with Tobias Volckaert (sax), Orlan Ghekiere (drums) and Hendrike Scharmann (violin).
