This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are festivals. Island festivals. City festivals. Street festivals. Festivals on the other side of an ocean.

2005 Antwerp. A concert in a refugee centre. A reminder that music often travels where headlines stop.
2007 Terschelling. Ferries. Camping fields. Wind off the sea. The kind of festival where the journey is part of the story. Tilburg. Festival Mundial. Another stop on a road that kept widening.
2010 Montréal. Francofolies. Brussels songs crossing the Atlantic.
2015 Szolnok. Several nights at Tiszavirág Festival. Smoke, lights, brass and movement. The stage glowing long after sunset. Brussels. A Bal Moderne for older dancers. Proof that a dance floor has no age limit.
2018 A photoshoot in Park 28. Urban landscapes. Unexpected props. A band portrait becoming something stranger and more playful. Zeeland. Eindeloos Eiland Festival. Another island. Another crowd.

Different countries. Different languages. Different stages. Same energy. Still crossing borders. Still following invitations. Still finding people ready to dance.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.

Jaune Toujours kicked off the heat wave! A huge thank you to everyone who joined them - you brought the freshness, the smiles, and made it a night to remember. 

Special shoutout to GRAAF for sharing the double bill, Brasserie de la Mule for organising Fête de la Musique and 1030cultuur for the support !

"... je wordt als luisteraar meteen meegesleept. Luister maar eens hoe je in het eerste nummer, Nachtschade, meteen door de trompet van Martini gepakt wordt. Zo begin je een album. En luister dan ook nog even hoe ze het afsluiten met Batich Ahmar, dan weet je dat je een pracht van een plaat in handen hebt."

‘... as a listener, you’re immediately swept away. Just listen to how, in the first track, ‘Nachtschade’, you’re instantly captivated by Martini’s trumpet. That’s how you start an album. And then just listen to how they close it off with ‘Batich Ahmar’ – that’s when you know you’ve got a real gem of an album in your hands.’

Thank you Holly Moors and Moors Magazine for this heartwarming review on the new Album Unland!

This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are megaphones. Some are radio microphones. Some happen on balconies. Some in the middle of the street.

2003 Halles de Schaerbeek. Supporting Manu Chao at Nunca Máis. A sea of raised hands. A band discovering what happens when urgency meets volume.
2004 A Father’s Day photo shoot. An accordion. A toddler dancing. Music already part of everyday life. Lille. Barricade crosses the border.
2007 Dordrecht. A quiet moment by the water before another show.
2009 Bochum. Backstage beers. Laptop laughter. Then straight back into the lights.
2014 Brussels. PicNic the Streets. The city itself becomes the stage.
2017 Berlin. A radio interview. Songs travelling through conversations as much as concerts.
2020 Lockdown Cheer Up Sessions. The audience looks up from the courtyard. The band plays from the balconies.
2024 Dimanche premieres. Another story leaves the rehearsal room and finds its audience.

Different settings. Same conviction. Still taking songs to festivals, streets, studios and care homes. Still believing music belongs wherever people gather.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.
