Support: Indré Jurgelevičiūté (LT)

Most of us probably know Indré Jurgelevičiūté from her collaboration with Bert Cools in Merope. Their album Naktès won the Klara award for the best Belgian world release 2019.

Indré sings and plays the kanklès, a type of zither from Lithuania. She combines the quiet minimalism of Lithuanian folklore with a whirlwind of new ideas. In our country, she is working for the Granvat platform, a creative place for alternative jazz projects like hoera. and Book of Air (Fieldtone and Vvolk).
