Photo of Antanjula Antanjula "Enticing concert by two outstanding artists. Their own compositions created moments of musical magic. Very special and unforgettable." Based in Gent, Flanders, Belgium (41 miles from Lille) Thomas Ossowski - Diplomatic event Photo of Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk "Mike & Tenzen are able to make their instruments come to life and tell stories of their own. They have a diverse registry, varying from shamanic music with the didgeridoo being played, or their folk songs where they both sing." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (58 miles from Lille) Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix Photo of Triskelt Triskelt "It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day.
