KAU trio.

KAU trio. is an instrumental project based in Brussels consisting of André Breidlid (drums), Matteo Genovese (bass) & Jan Janzen (keys). Representing various European backgrounds, their coming-together is in the spirit of the city they grew up in.

Taking inspiration from jazz they create a head-bobbing atmosphere using bassy beats and catchy melodies. By implementing acoustic instruments, the trio stays true to an organic sound. This gives them the ability to leave space for improvisation & spontaneity. Influenced by artists like BADBADNOTGOOD & Christian Scott, their music is original and audacious.

Professional Activities

Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques will once again be a partner of the festival for its ninth edition and will support artists through promotion, networking and visibility actions. A selection of professionals from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation will also make the trip to Roubaix.

Crossroads Festival

The Crossroads Festival was launched in 2016 to promote the modern music sector of the Hauts-de-France region to professionals from other regions and countries, and to set up inter-regional and international artistic and professional exchanges.

The festival offers every year, mid-September, in Roubaix to discover around thirty artists, in a « showcase » format, as well as professional meetings. The strategic location in the heart of the Paris-London-Brussels triangle was one of the main considerations that gave impetus to the project. The cross-border and European dimension must therefore important for the development of the Crossroads festival.
