The event was in un unusual venue, in the old fruit garden of Compot, located in Doornzele, far from the Ghent city center. The weather was awful, as it was the coldest Sep 17th since temperature measurements began. Despite the streaming rain, wind, and cold, the attendance was good. The concert organizers had put on a large tent and provided blankets so that everybody could stay warm and dry.
Despite the cold, the Aka Moon musicians were very generous in their time, as the concert lasted almost two hours. The music was a heavenly mix of funk, complex rhythms, gorgeous tunes and brilliant improvisations. The audience enjoyed it immensely and gave a standing ovation. Everybody happy.

Great concert, wonderful musicians and one of my bass gurus...the sound in the 'cave' of Cirque Royal was a bit boomy - too much bass...(look, who is talking - me as a bass player!). The sound technicians managed it after some struggle. All in all a great gig in a small cave...

About Aka Moon
The unique place Aka Moon occupies in todays music scene is because, independently of any particular trends, they combine art with inspired musical craftsmanship. This allows the musical personalities of saxophonist and composer Fabrizio Cassol, electric bassist Michel Hatzigeorgiou and drummer Stéphane Galland to explore all kinds of musical traditions and merge them into their own musical universe.
Since their first encounter with the Aka Pygmées in 1992, Aka Moon’s focus has shifted towards various different African, Indian, Maghrebian, Cuban, Arab, Afro-Amercican and European traditions.
Aka Moon juggles with polyrhythms and polyphonies like DJ’s. They slide from one phrase into another, opening up new harmonic and rhythmic paths. As a trio or in larger formations they cross over in a kaleidoscopic and elusive way, creating a whirlwind of unclassifiable, transcending and cosmic music.
Aka Moon’s virtuoso way to approach musical styles have also inspired choreographers who have invited Aka Moon to create and perform their music within their productions.
The journeys of Aka Moon have been registered in different CD’s and projects, marking a touchstone in their musical evolution.
