“With 'Vertigo,' Jaune Toujours once again breaks all boundaries: an explosive mix of drum & brass, Belgian ska, punk attitude and lyrics in three languages. This album is more than music: it is a powerful call to action and hope! ”
What an honor!!! Our latest record Vertigo has been nominated for Best Album at the Flanders Folk Awards!
This feels like wonderful recognition for everything that goes into our music: heart, soul and Brussels vibes. Big thanks to everyone who embraces Vertigo and enjoys our music.
This means so much to us!
“The songs on the new album Vertigo by Belgian world music band Jaune Toujours are about four minutes long, consistently compact, rhythmic, and danceable, exuding joy and directness. The multilingual lyrics, however, address serious topics. The music inspires hope, with catchy tracks blending punk attitude, drum & brass, accordion dub, and ska. The four-piece brass section adds a jazzy flair, with small solos skillfully interwoven.”
Thank you for this review Good Times Magazine !

“Dancing we arrived in Belgium to hear Jaune Toujours, a rock band without guitars and with the improvisational talent of a jazz combo with that charisma characteristic of street artists, with poetic and poignant reflections on society. The new album is called “Vertigo” (Choux de Bruxelles) and is faithful to the band's tradition of breaking down borders, be they linguistic or musical, with lyrics in English, French and Dutch, with a punk attitude, drums and brass, accordion dub with effects pedals and Belgian ska.”
