Visitors will be invited to join us on a round-the-world musical journey featuring hip hop from Africa, Europe and America, reggae from the USA and France, cumbia from Colombia and dancehall reggae from Jamaica!Time has past since Couleur Café first packed in its souks, restaurants and musicians into the Halles de Schaerbeek, the former covered market located in the heart of Brussels and now a flourishing European Cultural centre.
A real Brussels Festival
Taking place in the city, Couleur Café cultivates the cultural intermingling that makes up Brussels and other big cities in general. Couleur Café, a little cultural "Schengen" on our planetary ladder, knocks down borders and allows for the free trade of different musical influences.
