INUIT presents Minla & VLIEGWERK

double bill

Sat 28/03/2026 - 20:00

INUIT is a Leuven-based concert organisation that supports promising artists. As part of Leuven Jazz, they are presenting this atmospheric, dreamy double bill. Both concerts will take place in a standing club setting.

Minla (8.00 – 8.45 p.m.)

Minla is a Belgian band consisting of singer Mirte Leconte and trumpeter Marthe van Droogenbroeck. Their music revolves around vocals and trumpet, taking you on a dreamy, atmospheric journey. Influences from jazz, electronica, and alternative pop create a unique, cinematic sound.

VLIEGWERK (9.15 – 10.00 p.m.)

VLIEGWERK is an instrumental band featuring Steven Cassiers (Dans Dans, Bram Weijters' Crazy Men, Dez Mona, etc.) on drums, Wout Gooris (Sam Joris, Eva De Roovere, Fien Desmet, etc.) on synths, Indian harmonium, and throat singing and Tim Finoulst (Bert Joris, Tutu Puoane, etc.) on pedal steel.

At the heart of the group lies the pedal steel, which imbues the compositions with vast, open landscapes. The focused and concentrated energy of the drums and synths propel the music relentlessly forward. Sporadic throat singing gives the music an almost hypnotic quality. Live, VLIEGWERK effortlessly switches between introspective moments and energetic passages, creating a compelling atmosphere.

VLIEGWERK is working towards the release of its debut album on 25 February. The album was recorded entirely live. It is pure and direct, capturing the unmistakable energy of the moment. The compositions paint a fascinating sonic landscape ranging from melancholy to rhythmic drive and from tranquil introspection to playful lightness. Recommended for fans of: Daniel Lanois, Dans Dans, Nils Frahm and Brian Blade & the Fellowship Band.
