Farfar | Orbit

Farfar is a Mediterranean jazz band from Antwerp that absorbs you into lively and visual instrumentals. From swaying on the waves to an exuberant dance party, everything is possible in the wonderful universe of Farfar. After a double passage at AMOR in 2022 with their debut album Calima, they released their second album Orbit last year at de Roma. Armed with a larger instrumentation and synths, Farfar is taking a new and intriguing path, without losing the essence and uniqueness of their sound. Dynamic and profound instrumentals always tell a story that can be filled in by the listener in their own, personal way. Wander with the musicians through this extraordinary world! Zowel Orbit as Calima received the prize for Beste Album at the BWMN-Awards and were highlighted on Radio 1 and Klara. In 2024, Farfar even toured China. All reasons not to miss their show! “Strong songs that rely on haunting melodies and are brought by excellent musicians.” ★★★★ - De Standaard “A lot of variety on Orbit, although the sound world influenced by southern and eastern music sounds very recognizable and typically Farfar. You notice that the band sought broadening on this album without denying themselves, they succeeded wonderfully.” - Luminous Dash + Support: uma shanti dew uma shanti dew is a singer from Ghent who writes quirky songs in which poetry and melancholy embrace each other. Her story began a while ago with songs and expectation. A bike ride along Jo Francken gave her path further shape. That's how her ball kept rolling - slowly, at her own pace, contrary and free. Today, her music sounds both timeless and contemporary. In CC De Ververij she brings word art, wrapped in the soft piano sounds of Simon Moortgat, merged with the warm guitar sounds of Daniel Perez. The result is a blanket to crawl under.
