Toope Ajoyo is an original fusion of West Flemish and West African 'Yorùbá' and means as much as 'celebrating together', across all borders and differences between cultures. And celebrate we will: from various corners of Bruges city centre, anyone who wants to can follow the music, brought by three neo-fanfares from Brussels and Charleroi, a drum band from Leuven and a brass band from Jabbeke. In terms of repertoire, these musicians draw inspiration from the artistic universe of music makers Esinam Dogbatse and Ejaspapa Gnonlonfoun. The different musical tracks will converge on 't Zand around 15h15, where the party can really get going. Walk, dance and celebrate with us!
The party continues at the Concertgebouw. At 17h00, ESINAM presents her brand new creation around birth and transformation. Inspired by her West African roots, she sets to work with poetry, dance and music, performed by an all-female line-up.
