This wednesday Rebel Up Invite Hun Hun (live) @ Bonnefooi

Hye all,
this wednesday evening at Bonnefooi bar, Rebel Up organises an evening with live concert by Hun Hun.

Brussels duo Hun Hun. Following a trip to Istanbul, the two brothers set about creating mini sound odysseys with new age, ambient and tribal overtones. Hun Hun’s compositions are experimental and timeless, playing on the repetition of ancient melodies and rhythms. Ready to get lost in the maze of the big bazaar ?
