ZEF
Zef plays with the universes, a game in which only the commitment counts, the wholeness of the gesture, the spontaneity as well as the presence. the sum of a lot of little things and big fights, raw hopes and an uncompromising view of the world. the music is a path that is travelled together, the record is the milestone that marks this path.
Romain Berthet: Bassgitarre
Baltazar Montanaro: Violine
Laurent Geoffroy: Akkordeon
Damien Dulau: Gitarre
Aurelien Claranbaux: Akkordeon
DUO MONTANARO CAVES
An accordion and a violin... A journey between northern winds and eastern sounds... Emotion, sometimes improvised, sometimes free, gentle or tense... Music without borders, without names, free...
BALTAZAR MONTANARO: Violine
SOPHIE CAVEZ: Akkordeon
KV EXPRESS (DUO)
KV Express's repertoire is made up entirely of Sophie Cavez's own compositions, a repertoire with a modern sound that recolours traditional music to make feet and ears dance.
Sophie Cavez: Akkordeon
Bo Waterschoot: Bassgitarre

MARIE PAULETTE
Marie Paulette, a polyphonic duo, takes traditional dance and music and shapes it again and again into an electric, cosmopolitan trance.
Vincent Evrard: Elektrische Gitarre, Samples, diphonischer Gesang
Coline Ledoux: Diatonisches Akkordeon, Gesang

BILLEBAUDE
Laurent and Baltazar have both been playing in the group Zef since 2002. At the same time, they wanted to create a repertoire of traditional melodies from places that have shaped their lives and where they have lived. Music from Hungary follows Breton songs, music from the Morvan mixes with music from Provence or Gascony, Portugal or Estonia.
Baltazar Montanaro: Violine
Laurent Geoffroy: Akkordeon
DUO NEUS
Mara and Torge played together for the first time in spring 2024 and it was immediately clear that they couldn't stop there. In a very short time, they wrote a lot of tunes and now have a varied concert programme to offer for a full evening of balfolk. Their pieces are all new and written by themselves. Duo Neus plays for dancing as well as for listening -in any case they play with a lot of fire!
Mara Menzel: Diat. Akkordeon, Gesang
Melf Torge Nonn: Klarinette, Sopran Sax, Traverso Flute, Tin Whistle, Diat. Akkordeon
FEATHER AND FOX
Feather and Fox is a Belgo-German cello and mandolin duo. Christiane and Victor met during a Berlin summer on the banks of the river Spree and have been travelling all over Europe's balfolk scene with their delicate music ever since. From the very beginning, the duo plays for dancers and is inspired by their energy; playful and sensitive, they explore the sound possibilities in the interplay of the twelve strings of their instruments and create a unique sound, both feather-light and energy-driven.
Christiane Bisitz – Cello, Gesang
Victor Lekeu – Mandoline, Percussion
