re#encounter is a hybrid trance jazz collective from Brussels, bringing people together in festive ceremonies suspended between tradition and the future. The collective takes these chaotic, undefined and infectious encounters as the starting point for their musical journey. Blending gnawa grooves, cumbia chants, griot storytelling and ecstatic jazz improvisation, the band creates a swirling, dancefloor-ready soundscape that breathes spontaneity, authenticity and spiritual depth, a worldly, 100% Brussels sound. More than a concert, it’s a shared ritual and a connecting experience.
