Couleur Café

In 1994, following work on the Halles de Schaerbeek, the festival moved to the Tour & Taxis site, north-west of the Pentagon (Brussels' city centre).

The scope of the three-day festival lies on world music with as main styles funk, hiphop, reggae, dance, dub, soul, Latin, blues and rock divided over four stages.

Internationally famous acts as well as less known talent or locally popular musicians are represented.

Apart from the music itself, there is also a large art exposition, a market with young designers, dance workshops, cocktail bars and food stands from a worldwide variety of kitchens (fifty countries).
