VELVET PLAZA (2020) is an Afro-Jazz experience, with worldly influences. A variating fusion band, with different musicians and creatives from a homegrown Amsterdam community. Raised by the gospel music from church, the band players share their roots through different instruments. By tapping into the '60s and ’70s aesthetic, the musical journey gives a melancholic and nostalgic atmosphere. With roots in West Africa, the rhythms and melodies are composed and reinterpreted in a contemporary vessel.
From Monday 10 to Friday 14 August, Grachtenfestival and Felix Meritis will present a unique series of concerts with the most prominent top talent in the Netherlands. Enjoy this intimate concert live from the reopened Felix Meritis or watch the live stream at 12:00 PM!
