ABConcerts NewsAn overview of upcoming concerts at the AB BrusselsSARA TAVARES, ABFlex, 2009-05-09 20:00- April 23, 2008 Balance, Bom Feeling... That's what this glowing singer-guitarist with Cape Verdian roots so likes to sing about (amongst others on that fine 'Balanc' CD from World Connection). She does that in Portugese, Creole, Angolese, English... and then you notice just how heartwarming and convincing SARA TAVARES always sounds. This girl that grew up far from home and her parents has made from her school of hard knocks an extremely positivehttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102036 LUDOVICO EINAUDI FEAT. ROBERT LIPPOK, ABTheater, 2008-11-14 20:00- April 21, 2008 LUDOVICO EINAUDI FEAT. ROBERT LIPPOK (TO ROCOCO ROT) + STRING SEXTET Composer and pianist LUDOVICO EINAUDI was already an established name outside his Italian homeland but since the start of this year the man is also admired here. Following 2 sold-out concerts in Brussels and Brugge and praise from various media, this contemporary minimalist once again returns to Belgium for an exclusive concert in the AB.

Or better the term 'michto' THIERRY 'TITI' ROBIN grew up in the west of France. He taught himself to play guitar (and the oud, and the bouzouki) and was quick to go for gypsy music (which he would later rediscover in places like Andalusia and India). In the meantime Titi has been driven, enthusiastic and busy with a variety of things for almost half a century. Now and then he goes la Bashttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101978 HANS LIBERG, ABTheater, 2009-04-18 20:00- April 18, 2008 25 years of HANS LIBERG! The Jubilee Show! The pimped best-of! Following 'The Ninth', his previous, now 'The Tenth', the recycled! This Dutchman is a unique performer: a classically schooled pianist, musical cabaret performer, virtuoso improviser... He calls himself a 'musical sit-down comedian' (although he barely sits still during his marathon performances). Another nice term: 'sample-cabaret'. Or, and why not: 'slapstick-zap-classicisthttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=101977 ANA MOURA, ABTheater, 2009-01-29 20:00- April 18, 2008 Fado! Fantastic Portugese song in one of the most remarkable new fado-voices. Her most recent CD 'Para Alm Da Saudade' once again scintillated due to Jorge Fernando's production and arrangements. Classical guitar, Portugese guitar and acoustic bass: that trio was more than enough to support ANA MOURA's relevant lyrics, or rather: to raise them to an international level. Miss Moura also has Amalia Rodrigues as great (song technical) exhttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102033 HEATHER NOVA, Zaal, 2008-10-14 20:00- April 17, 2008http://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102027 BOB BROZMAN, ABClub, 2008-11-25 20:00- April 16, 2008 Guitar pleasure! Enjoyable teacher! Masterful masterclass! Impressively educational! This modest master doesn't use that many exclamation marks himself, but his string playing (slide, finger style, percussion), his craftsmanship (music and ethnology), his fruitful collaborations (with musicians and students)... In everything that BOB BROZMAN presents you can hear a healthy, stimulating striving for rich musical and interpersonal contact.

Searing passion and technical virtuosity collected in 11 biting metal-core tracks for which every band member provided lyrics, and what immediately explains the title. On this album the metal in metalcore received slightly more attention and also the necessary injection of melody and technical control. All this under the expert leadership of producer Tue Madsenhttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102032 GORKI, ABTheater, 2009-01-15 20:00- April 15, 2008 The Gorki theatre tour is coming to you! In premire! For the Mature Youth! GORKI's ninth studio-album is now in shops and is, as always with anything that Vos takes on, again a gem in the (inter)national music landschape. As usual, Vos and his want to follow up the CD release, performances in beery smelling halls and muddy festival fields by rounding this period off in dignity in Flemish and Dutch theatres... and that with a broad programme ihttp://www.abconcerts.be/ab2/&l=3&p=200&c=102030 |
