About this concert
Les Goûts de Gand returns to the Macharius neighborhood once again. This year marks the 17th edition of the free music festival. In and around Coyendanspark, visitors of all ages can fully enjoy a diverse musical program! Les Goûts de Gand invites you to discover the various flavors and sounds of Ghent in a unique culinary and musical setting. From charmingly delicate songs to lively party music at different locations, from cozy cafes to the impressive refectory of the Medieval Saint Bavo's Abbey. At the Main Stage and in the Afro-Latin Area, you can enjoy alternative concerts and dance workshops. In the Green Church, you can browse through a small but fine Feria Mundial (featuring products from Cape Verde, Bangladesh, Thailand, Ghana, and Ukraine), get to know the mobile 'Zwerfkeet' studio of the Graffiti organization, and enjoy delicious coffee & treats from Komaf Koffie in our Berber tent. In that same tent, you can also enjoy poetry in various languages, brought by Amal and De Krook. Additionally, there is children's entertainment and a children's performance by Klein Festijn." 'Food and drinks' can be found near the Main Stage in Coyendanspark.

Balklavalhau Biography
Project formed in Porto in September 2020, as a result of the passion for Balkan and Middle Eastern music, which brought together musicians from Chile, Brasil and Poland who currently live and create in the City of Invicta.
Since the beginning, the band's objective has been not only to reproduce traditional themes, but also to enrich tradition with their own experiences and with the sound heritage that each one brought from their environment.
The artists believe that music is one of the best ways to cross borders and find similarities in differences - and the intense musical coexistence quickly led to the conclusion that although so different and distant, all traditions share the same beating heart.
Balklavalhau's concert is a sonic voyage through Eastern European countries, but on board we will also find Latin, Arab, Slavic, and Portuguese influences.
The band brings to the audience music from minorities, such as the Roma, often marginalized in their own environment. Among several languages and sounds, we find a message that brings them all together - that since the dawn of humanity, music knows no boundaries, social classes or inequalities.
