Wednesday, July 8: Opening act - Groove Brasileiro Groove Brasileiro is the trio of percussionist/singer Darlan Pires, with Gilmar Camargo on guitar and Evandro Sampaio on keys. Brazilian party music, which effortlessly transforms the Stuivenbergplein into a bustling working-class neighborhood in Salvador de Bahia. Main program - Saad Tiouly (Morocco) Saad Tiouly is one of the most remarkable new voices within the contemporary Gnawa scene in Morocco.. Live, he drags you into a musical trip of hypnotic guembri grooves, rhythms, and an almost ritual energy. His concerts are not ordinary shows, but immersive experiences that completely submerge you. Saad is an artist in many fields: he builds his own guembris (the traditional gnawa guitar) and designs his stage costumes. Sometimes he is even called the Jimi Hendrix of gnawa. Wednesday, July 15: Opening act - Badr Bairi trio Met Badr Bairi’s oud, violin, and darbuka celebrate traditional Moroccan folk music. Zoubeir takes care of the vocals and guitar parts, Brend complements with percussion. Immersive and passionate, professionally brought. Main program - Zerzura (Egypt/France) Zerzura is the project that arose from the meeting between the Egyptian singer Hend Elrawy and the French band Mazalda. Inspired by the legend of Zerzura, or “the oasis of the little birds”, which refers to a mythical city from the Sahara. The result is an energetic and playful mix of North African influences, desert grooves, and electronic, danceable sounds. Zerzura is an invitation to movement: a hypnotic, rhythmic journey. Wednesday, July 22: Opening act - Erick Rivera con su’Afinque On July 22, Stuivenbergplein puts his best foot forward with an authentic Latino quartet: Erick Rivera con su’Afinque. Salsa, bachata, and more with David Ramos on piano, Lázaro Reyes on trumpet, Leonid Muñoz on drums, and the warm voice of Erick Rivera. Fiesta! Main program - Lívia Mattos (Brazil) Born in Salvador-Bahia (northeast Brazil), Lívia Mattos is an accordionist, singer, and songwriter with her own, playful style. She builds her music around the accordion and a mix of Brazilian roots, poetic influences, and unexpected rhythms.
