“Salut les Voisins” at Leuven Jazz: a collaborative project between linguistic communities

In 2025, 4 groups represent French-speaking jazz at Leuven Jazz festival from March 19 to 20, 2025.

On the other hand, 4 Dutch-speaking bands will be performing at the Gaume Jazz Festival on August 9 and 10, 2025. They have been selected from among the winners of other Call for Artists held in both linguistic communities.
