Foyer Matinee: Lara en Nana

Intimate afro-jazz

With her cinematic, warm sense of music, double bassist Lara Rosseel has been a fixture in Belgian jazz for years. First with names such as Chris Joris, Naima Joris and Zap Mama, but since her highly acclaimed debut album "De Grote Vrouw" in 2020 mainly with her own quintet and orchestra. With the young Ghanaian musician Nana Osei-Twum Barima, she combines the best of both worlds in intimate Afro-jazz.

Nana plays the "seperewa" - a Ghanaian harp flute. It is a true family instrument, inheriting its musical depth from his great-grandfather and uncle - both renowned musicians. He studied Ghanaian music and dance at the University of Education and is building his career as a harpist, singer, percussionist and dancer from Ghent. This Foyer Matinee will be a unique artistic encounter.
