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.

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."

Damast Duo Biography
Syrian violinist Shalan Alhamwy and Belgian accordionist Jonas Malfliet bring together a wide repertoire of Arabic and European folk music.
In the Middle Ages, the luxurious textile damask (in Dutch "damast") was invented in Damascus, the Syrian capital. Since then, damask spread all over the world along the silk road. This cultural crossover between East and West is exactly what happens in Damast Duo’s music.
In 2018 the duo recorded their first album Safar, a musical journey between Syria and Belgium. Their second album, Birds of Passage (2020), is the result of a musical meeting with the Turkish-Danish singer Luna Ersahin and the French-Venezuelan guitar player Ray Riveros.
