Thu 20 March > Rebel Up Records label evening @ Ancienne Belgique, w/ Trance Plantations & Satanique Samba Trio (BR) + Afterparty @ Bonnefooi

hey all!
This thursday 20 march we organise a special Rebel Up Records label evening at the Ancienne Belgique club room in Bxl centre!

With 2 concerts, by Brazilian group Satanique Samba Trio to celebrate their new release on 21.03 on the start of their European tour, and a warmup show by Brussels duo Trance Plantations. DJ support by SebCat & Drache MuMu.

Satanique Samba Trio is an instrumental avant-garde quintet (yep, not really a trio), founded in 2003 with the sole purpose to be an idiosyncratic force on the Brazilian musical landscape. No Brazilian traditional rhythm remains unscathed on Satanique Samba Trioโ€™s trail of desecration. From samba to forrรณ, from bossa nova to lambada and carimbรณ, this Brasรญlia-based quintet (sometimes sextet) has been adding virulence, dissonance and provocation to Brazilโ€™s musical heritage. Their efforts on deconstructing Brazilian musicโ€™s most persistent clichรฉs have resulted in 15 records so far. After a (post-)covid hiatus, they finally hit Europe again to promote their upcoming 7-inch vinyl .โ€˜Cursed Brazilian Beats Vol. 1โ€™, to be released on the Brussels label Rebel Up! Records. The 7inch will be available at the show!

Get your tickets here!

And afterwards we do a Rebel Up x ECHT! afterparty @ Bonnefooi bar, as ECHT! also plays their new album release concert in the big room of the Ancienne Belgique. Expect a full lineup with underground electronic & global sounds by SebCat, Papelรณn Kifesh, Moon Yรฉ and DJ Erd.

See you around!!!!

Friday 29 nov > Rebel Up @ Beursschouwburg Bxl, Congolese & African beats

Hey everyone,

This Friday 29 nov, a special concert night & afterparty @ Beursschouwburg!

Headliner of the night is Congolese band Kon’gongolo Kiniata from Kinshasa, masterful upcyclers who produce electro-Congolese rumba rock: a very own funky and punky flavour of experimental afro-pop, using an impressive arsenal of homemade percussion and string instruments from scrap metal. Their lyrics in Lingala pay homage to the working class, rebel against the war in Congo and advocate hope and perseverance for the youth of Kinshasa.

Before them, Brussels african group AKAR Collectif. A musical and visual collaboration between Shama Bongo (singer, producer & manager), Sarah Carlier (singer-songwriter, musician, music producer), Rokia Bamba (DJ, sound designer) and BenRichard (VJ, DJ, sound designer).

The evening is hosted by Rebel Up, SebCat will play warmup tunes & afterparty bangers together with Brussels based Italian-Congolese dj Laryssa Kim.

All info & tickets here.
See you there!
