« Jazz not Jazz » avec KAU + Oriana Ikomo – Confluent Jazz Festival

Because jazz and music in general will never be a sacred temple, but always a continent without borders, we present KAU and Oriana Ikomo.

KAU, formerly known as KAU trio., is a Brussels-based instrumental trio that transcends genres by fusing jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music. With impeccable mastery of drums, bass, and analog synthesizers, they create a spellbinding atmosphere that makes heads nod and bodies sway.

Based in Brussels, Oriana Ikomo is a versatile and multidisciplinary artist. Trained in jazz singing and piano at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, she made her recording debut in November 2022 with the release of her first musical project, THE LOVE I HAD. 

Oriana's music is a unique fusion of melodies that are both soft and powerful, tinged with jazzy nuances and carried by refined R&B rhythms. Her voice, imbued with a mysterious serenity and quiet strength, conveys poignant lyrics that explore the multiple dimensions of love. In 2023, she made her mark on the Belgian scene by winning and then reaching the finals of two of the country's most prestigious music competitions: Sound Track and De Nieuwe Lichting by Studio Brussels.

Her unique sound and striking visual identity make her one of the most promising talents on Belgium's vibrant music scene
