SOORS HONINGS DUO Jeroen Soors : Oboe Cedric Honings : Classical Guitar DEL SABLON Ana Fernández Pérez - Voice, Rhythm guitar Luca Isolani - Guitar, Backing Vocals Jelle Vandooren - Percussion Grégoire Bayard - Bass Special guest: Aquiles Navarro - Trumpet

On the 19th of March Sounds is going to host a double bill organised by the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel! Here the agenda: . h20 | HONINGS DUO A truly unique pairing, oboist Jeroen Soors and guitarist Cedric Honings bring together two instruments rarely heard side by side, creating an intimate yet powerful soundscape. . Jeroen Soors, principal oboist of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, has performed across Europe, Asia, and South America in prestigious venues such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Dutch National Opera. Trained in Antwerp, Karlsruhe, and Paris, he has played with top orchestras, including the Residentie Orkest and the Radio Kamer Filharmonie. Since 2017, he has also been a professor at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. . Cedric Honings, a rising star of the classical guitar, has won numerous competitions, including the Princess Christina Competition and the Brussels International Guitar Festival. A graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, he has performed across Europe and the U.S., collaborating with orchestras such as SymphoniaASSAI and La Passione. His sold-out performance at BOZAR was hailed as a milestone in his promising career. Together, Soors and Honings merge their distinct musical worlds, offering audiences a fresh and unexpected concert experience. . h20.45 | DEL SABLON From the heart of Brussels, Del Sablon brings a vibrant mix of cultures and styles, creating an intimate yet energetic musical experience. The group is composed of Mexican singer-songwriter Ana Ferper, Italian guitarist Luca Isolani, Belgian percussionist Jelle Vandooren, and French bass player Grégoire Bayard. Drawing from their diverse artistic backgrounds, they come together to celebrate the multicultural essence of modern society. . After performing extensively across Belgium, France, and Italy, Del Sablon released their debut EP, NIÑO, in collaboration with the Italian label Mr. Few. The album, preceded by the single El Desierto, blends contemporary cumbia, huapango, and ranchera rhythms with a fresh and modern sound. . The themes addressed in the album tell, literally and metaphorically, about stories of contemporary society: the hope of young refugees; the levity of a glass of wine with friends; the relevance of family ties in times of wars and pandemics; the feminism; the warmth of love songs. . The title track, Niño, is a tribute to children—their unfiltered view of the world, their intelligence, and their freedom from prejudice. It highlights their right to happiness in a world that too often leaves them stranded at sea or behind barbed wire. . For this special event, Del Sablon will be joined on stage by Aquiles Navarro, the Canadian-Panamanian trumpet player from Irreversible Entanglements.

Stay tuned as the full lineup will be revealed gradually.

IRREVERSIBLE ENTANGLEMENTS réimagine Don Cherry’s Organic Music Society

Si Irreversible Entanglements partage avec le Don Cherry des années 70 un sens de la communauté, du collectif et de la spiritualité, le quintet emmené par Moor Mother est davantage mu par une colère et une brûlante lucidité que l’époque semble exiger. Que restera-t-il du psychédélisme planant et des ragas entêtants d’Organic Music Society, album mythique publié par Don Cherry en 1972, revisité par Irreversible Entanglements ? Quelles pistes vont emprunter les enfants terribles du free américain pour réinventer ces compositions signées Terry Riley, Pharoah Sanders, Dollar Brand ou Don Cherry ? En d’autres termes, que reste-t-il des utopies d’hier ?

ENGLISH VERSION : Moor Mother’s group Irreversible Entanglements shares a sense of community and collective spirituality with Don Cherry’s artistry in the 1970s. However, half a century later, this quintet is also driven by a rage and burning lucidity that our times seem to require. When Irreversible Entanglements revisits the legendary 1972 Don Cherry album Organic Music Society, it’s open to question how much of its dreamy psychedelicism and dizzying ragas they will preserve. As the enfants terribles of today’s free jazz scene in the US, they are bound to blaze new trails even as they reinvent compositions signed by Terry Riley, Pharoah Sanders, Dollar Brand, and Don Cherry. Have the utopias of yesteryear disappeared completely?

Irreversible Entanglements in concert in Barcelona – January 19

Irreversible Entanglements is a band that fuses jazz and black music with a revolutionary and provocative vision. Originally from Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC, her music transcends the boundaries of traditional genres to bring a forceful social critique that vindicates the cultural legacy of the black community. With powerful lyrics and rhythms that oscillate between free jazz and the avant-garde, the group offers a sound experience that stirs consciences and invites reflection.

The group is made up of five musicians of great recognition and experience in the experimental music scene. Camae Ayewa, known artistically as Moor Mother, is an Afrofuturist poet and activist who brings an intense political message to her performances. Luke Stewart, a bass player of unmistakable intensity, adds a deep foundation that draws the listener into the rebelliousness of his compositions. Keir Neuringer, saxophonist with a strongly political tone and avant-garde technique, defies jazz conventions with powerful and dynamic solos. Aquiles Navarro (trumpet) and Tcheser Holmes (drums) complete the group, an explosive duo that combines jazz, Latin and Afro-Caribbean influences, bringing a rhythmic energy that propels their music to new dimensions.

After the success of their debut album Irreversible Entanglements (2017), the band consolidated with Who Sent You? (2020) and Open The Gates (2021), critically acclaimed albums. These works, co-edited by the International Anthem and Don Giovanni labels, have demonstrated the group's ability to innovate and challenge musical conventions, becoming a reference within the avant-garde jazz scene.

Irreversible Entanglements is coming to Molino next January 19 to offer a concert where art and activism merge in a unique and transformative experience.

IRREVERSIBLE ENTANGLEMENTS

Free jazz band who cultivate “the liberation technologies of jazz and associated Black music—root, stem, and branch—into the future.”

The five-piece band Irreversible Entanglements emerged organically, out of deep friendships, mutual admiration, and a shared activist concern. International in scope yet indebted to, influenced by, and committed to their specific communities, the band pulls zero punches and reserves no energy in intrepid live sets that proclaim revolutionary love for the people.

The Philadelphia, New York, and DC-based band is made up of five individuals whose uncompromising artistic visions have received wide acclaim: ‘Luke Stewart, the high priest on bass; Aquiles Navarro, the electric universe in human form on trumpet; Keir Neuringer, the cosmologist with the siren sound on sax; Tcheser Holmes, the griot, the myth-maker on drums; and Camae Ayewa, the Moor mother with an empyrean pen game’ (Alex Smith).

Activist jazz with a sharp focus, contemplation, and moments of joy. This is what the American jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, led by musician and poet Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother), brings to the stage. In The Great Bailout (2024, Anti Records), her latest solo album, she conveys social and historical injustice, grief, and anger so powerfully that it leaves a lasting impression. Irreversible Entanglements channels a similar energy, combining the jazz tradition of free improvisation to create a contemporary ritual that also radiates love, freedom, and hope. Listen attentively, as the music and lyrics are so layered that you won’t want to miss a single moment. And live? That’s when the power of their music and poetry truly comes to life.

duration 1h

A figure of alternative American creation, musician, poet and activist Moor Mother explores the history and consequences of slavery and colonization.

For Musica, she extends her restorative narrative through a unique performance featuring the Pelicanto Choir. Her starting point is her birthplace, Havre de Grace, Maryland, so named for its resemblance to the port of Le Havre that Lafayette saw there. In the 19th century, the small town on the Mason-Dixon line separating the abolitionist states of the North from the slave states of the South was a crossing point for escaped slaves.

Irreversible Entanglements (IE) is a free-jazz quintet with an experimental punk mentality, that consists of poet/vocalist Camae Ayewa (often known as Moor Mother), bassist Luke Stewart, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, and drummer Tcheser Holmes.

It is a community band playing deeply improvised, rhythm music full of love and social commitment. IE came together spontaneously, organically, in April of 2015 at “Musicians Against Police Brutality,” a day of protest sound and discussion in Brooklyn. All were artists and activists of varying degrees: Philadelphia-based Ayewa and Neuringer, and D.C.-based Stewart as veterans of the Mid-Atlantic noisehardcore-experimental scene, while Holmes and Navarro as recent New England Conservatory grads Each of the studio albums that followed — 2020’s Who Sent You? and 2021’s Open The Gates — developed this legend further.

In 2023, IE signed to the fabled Impulse! Records, and released its most accomplished work to date, Protect Your Light, on September 8, 2023, primarily recorded at New Jersey’s historic Van Gelder Studios. It features eight examples of how IE’s collaborative composition strategies and Ayewa’s in-communion verses result in some of the most potent music being made in the third decade of the 21st century, music with communal light and love at its heart. Get to that love on time — don’t force history to guide you.

ABOUT

Five-piece collective Irreversible Entanglements got together to play at a Musicians Against Police Brutality event in Brooklyn, New York, organized to protest the death of Akai Gurley at the hands of the NYPD. Since then, this groundbreaking group has been all about addressing urgent current events. At the heart of the band is poet and spoken word artist Camae Ayewa, aka Moor Mother. The self-titled 2017 debut album Irreversible Entanglements received rave reviews from major media outlets. The contemporary free-jazz sound is in keeping with spiritual jazz traditions, such as those of Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra and Charles Mingus. Taking an experimental punk approach, the collective mixes these influences with grinding electronics and futuristic poetry in a melancholic exploration of “post-colonial debris”. Their latest album Protect Your Light was released on the famed label Impulse! Records. This is music that cuts and abrades and is full of rhythm, love, and social commentary.

If the history of jazz in the second half of the 20th century was often written around individual names, Irreversible Entanglements is in the process of leaving its mark on that of the 21st through the strength and intelligence of the collective. Composed of poet Camae Ayewa also known by her alias Moor Mother, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, bassist Luke Stewart and drummer Tcheser Holmes, Irreversible Entanglements is a free jazz collective. Their music addresses racial inequality, social justice and the African diaspora. In 2023, Project Your Light will be released on the legendary Impulse label. The group has carved out a special place for itself on the avant-garde music scene and has continued to captivate ever since. Unconventional jazz music which takes the contours of an aesthetic and political emancipation to be discovered on the last evening of the Festival.

IRREVERSIBLE ENTANGLEMENTS are a band who cultivate the liberation technologies of jazz and associated Black music—root, stem, and branch—into the future. The band emerged organically, out of deep friendships, mutual admiration, ad hoc formations, and a shared activist concern for the beloved legacy of all Black life and culture. International in scope yet indebted to, influenced by, and committed to their specific communities, the band pulls zero punches and reserves no energy in intrepid live sets that proclaim revolutionary love for the people.

The Philadelphia, New York, and DC-based band is made up of five individuals whose uncompromising artistic visions have received wide acclaim. Poet Camae Ayewa, a/k/a Moor Mother, is a legendarily prolific, globally leading light of Afrofuturist music, art, and community activism. Bassist Luke Stewart is deservedly his generation’s most in-demand musician on that instrument, who from his work as a radio and concert presenter boasts an encyclopedic knowledge of the music from which he draws with focused and thunderous intensity. Saxophonist Keir Neuringer’s prodigious avantgarde technique is matched by an urgency in his tone and fierce socio-political determination. Trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and drummer Tcheser Holmes joined the band as an already long-standing duo, bringing with them uncontainable energy and inventiveness grounded in classic jazz and Latin and Afro-Carribbean streams.

Their 2017 self-titled debut Irreversible Entanglements – which was recorded in a single session, the first time the five musicians all played together – arrived to wide critical acclaim, hailed by many as one of the Best Albums of 2017 including NPR, Wire Magazine, and Stereogum.

Quickly they made their mark at major festivals and venues in North America and Europe (including Washington’s Smithsonian, Utrecht NL’s Le Guess Who?, London’s Barbican, and Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival, and more), leaving audiences stunned by the their longform telepathic improvisational flights of rare power.

In 2020, their follow-up album Who Sent You? was released amidst the early weeks of the pandemic but was nevertheless met again with wide critical praise and an appearance near the top of the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts. In The Nation, writer Marcus J. Moore said: “Irreversible Entanglements’ fearless music takes to task the police, American politics, capitalism, and racism.” Writer Andy Beta said, in his review for Pitchfork: “the jazz ensemble evokes our American topography, both physically and psychologically, by capturing what’s in the news and what’s underneath that surface.”

Their third album, the double LP Open The Gates, arrives in the fall of 2021 with an expanded sonic palette and increased emotional breadth. All three albums are co-releases on the International Anthem and Don Giovanni labels, highlighting Irreversible Entanglements’ ability to make adventurous music beyond genre, both honoring and defying tradition, speaking to the present while insisting on the future.
