What would it sound like if we mixed some inspiration from

traditional music with the abstract textures of contemporary

music? Or if we sprinkle the colorful harmony of jazz with the

burning inflections of Arabic maqâms ?

Jaqâmaz is a very recent group of five musicians, it is a

crossroad between five worlds. First of all we seek to combine

all the richness that our different cultures can provide in order

to create something new. Therefore each member has a great

responsibility inside the group. Everyone has to share his

influence to find the right balance with others. If we win this

bet, this music might open doors. To those who seems familiar

with the swing and the blues chords, the sound of the Ud could

wake up their desire to see beyond the Mediterranean Sea? To

those who sing with plaisir the orchestral melodies, their body

will irresistibly be attracted by the modern grooves.

In short, everything is gathered to touch various sensibilities

and merge them into new horizons.

Jaqamaz already perform at several venues in Belgium, including PianoFabriek, Maison Des Cultures of Molenbeek, HetHuys, W:halll and PARK Festival in Leuven.
