With previous influences of swing, folk and barbershop, interwoven with African-inspired grooves and American folk pop, Belcirque's latest album La Grande Fête takes on a new adventure and heads south! Travelling across deserts and dry lands, and sailing stormy oceans, it finally swims ashore upon the golden sands of South America. Now wearing a sunny Latin-American jacket as barbershop and swing meet calypso, cumbia and rumba! For over ten years this seven-piece Belgian band have turned many venues upside down; music halls, street theatres, festivals - big and small. Today, they can be spotted in Europe, the UK, and even in South Korea. Their many years of playing and traveling together - getting through four Camionettes so far - resulted in Belcirque developing their own unique style. La Grande Fête, their third album, is a clear result of this.
