A world-class jazz singer
Met Tutu Puoane Bravoer managed to land a world-class star for this autumn's Warande concert. Our country has been the home base of the South African-born singer for ten years, but her musical star shines far beyond national borders. As an established name in the jazz world, she has performed with the renowned Brussels Jazz Orchestra and the German WDR Big Band, world-famous among true jazz lovers.
Closer to home, she shared the stage with our very own Toots Tielemans. And who doesn't know the song 'Dicht bij mij' that Bart Peeters wrote with her in mind as a duet partner? Tijdens Bart Peeters's Deluxe concerts in the Lotto Arena, she was therefore a beloved guest artist.
2026 Program
Tutu Puoane has built a reputation over the past twenty years in the international jazz scene and in dance theater. For the Warande concert, she takes the audience on a musical journey that alternates soul and jazz classics like 'At Last' by Etta James and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman' by Aretha Franklin with her own compositions colored by her South African roots, such as 'Mpho' and 'Motsumi'. 'In A Mellow Tone' is, in turn, a swinging jazz standard from the pen of Duke Ellington.
Add to that the atmospheric brass music of brass ensemble Bravoer, and you know you are in for a special evening.
Over Bravoer
Het Warandeconcert is an organization by Bravoer. The brass ensemble brings the typical brass band sound, featuring exclusively brass players. There are about forty of them: from cornet to euphonium, from alto horn to trombone. And for the well-aimed right and the solid left: the percussionists. The brass ensemble always guarantees music and entertainment. Sometimes turbulent, sometimes simple and intimate. Bravoer is led by Thomas Roelants.
