Merope & Širom: indie folk night
Over het evenement
Two groups for two concerts! BOZAR is welcoming the Franco‐Belgo‐Lithuanian group Merope, as it creates dreamlike atmospheres inspired by nature, in which traditional Lithuanian minimalist folk music combines with electronic atmospheres. Its third album Naktės, which Klara named the best Belgian world music CD in 2018, makes way for the enchanting universe of the night. Then it’s Širom’s turn to take to the stage. This group has an original form of expression which fluctuates between a broad range of Slovenian folk sonorities and contemporary acoustic rock meditations a hi‐tech mystical and contemplative minimalism which opens the mind to imagined folk.
