RAUW Festival at BIRD. On Saturday 07 November, RAUW Festival takes over BIRD for the festival’s closing night. Across three days, RAUW brings adventurous, genre-bending music to Rotterdam, with shows at Studio De Zolder, Rotown and BIRD. Expect jazz, electronics, neo-soul, improvisation and sounds that refuse to stay within one genre.

At BIRD, three acts bring their own approach to pushing musical boundaries.

Kessoncoda (UK)

London duo Kessoncoda move between jazz, electronics and minimalist composition. Through drums, keys and electronic textures, they create a hypnotic sound driven by rhythm and improvisation.

Mattias De Craene + Black Koyo (BE/MA)

Belgian saxophonist Mattias De Craene joins forces with Moroccan collective Black Koyo for an intense meeting of experimental jazz, electronics and the rhythms and energy of Gnawa music.

Diana Sidibè

Diana Sidibè moves freely between soul, jazz, pop and West African influences, combining warm grooves with a distinctive contemporary sound.

RAUW Festival brings together artists who challenge genres and create new musical connections. On Saturday 07 November, experience that spirit live at BIRD Rotterdam.
