Les Amis de Minouche

The event will be accompanied throughout by the music of Les Amis de Minouche. With their unique blend of gypsy swing, French chanson and a touch of jazz, they bring familiar stories to life — about love, friendship and everyday life. Unpretentious yet refined, with original compositions and classics that make you dream, sway and hum along.
Vincent Goeminne, Joris Angenon, Arvid Valck and Martijn Bal grew their friendship through bands such as The Machines, The Dinky Toys, Plane Vanilla, Skyblasters and Soulbrothers.
