New video: Venus Tunes Live XL @ Jazz in Duketown 2023
Early Christmas present: Here it is, the full-length concert of Venus Tunes Live XL on the mainstage of Jazz in Duketown. Featuring SaraLee Vos and Zosja El Rhazi (vocals), Katya Gabeli (dj/violin), Annick Sickinghe (percussion) and Susanne Alt (dj/saxophone).
This video illustrates how well we fit on a big festival stage and also how to end a festival on a Saturday night. All of this with a all-female line-up playing own compositions like "Susie Saxophone", Elixir", "Open Up" and more in the blend with music we adapted and made it our own. People can dance, there's participation and it adds another facet to a jazz festival. This is also a form of jazz: A crossover of jazz and dance (disco, deep house and house). Book us here
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel.
