SUMMARY:Stef Kamil Carlens & THE POEM
LOCATION:KVS (Lakensestraat 146\, 1000 Brussel)
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this concert takes place at the Koninklijke\nVlaamse Schouwburg\, a 10 minute walk from AB (KVS-BOL\,\nLakensestraat 146\, 1000 Brussels). Tickets available at\nKVS As musicians and vocalists\, Nel and Rahmat are of\ncourse also part of the seven-piece ensemble THE SWOON\,\nStef Kamil Carlens' vibrant backing band with whom he\nreleased the much-acclaimed 2024 album Be(e) Who You Wanna\nBe(e) – a project that wowed both press and audiences with\nits energetic\, funky\, and colorful live shows. Stef Kamil\nCarlens intends to keep this spirit alive for a while\, and\ntogether with his band\, continues to work between projects\non new songs once again rooted in powerful grooves. That\nsaid\, Stef Kamil Carlens has certainly not lost his love\nfor the narrative art of the luisterlied (storytelling\nsong). For THE POEM tour and album\, he presents new work\nand\, together with the ladies\, reinterprets songs from his\nown extensive repertoire as well as gems drawn from the\nboundless treasure trove of singer-songwriter traditions –\nwhere the lines between poetry\, literature\, and (pop)\nmusic blur beautifully. The spoken word\, elevated by\nmusic\, is carried by their three unique and contrasting\nvoices. Stef Kamil Carlens' husky tenor has long been a\nrecognizable sound in the Belgian music scene\, flanked by\nNel Ponsaers’ soft\, velvety alto and Rahmat Emonds’\nsoulful soprano. Incidentally\, the band’s name combines\nthe first two letters of the singers’ surnames. Harmony\nsinging takes center stage in this concert\, yet all three\nartists also step forward as soloists\, giving each song a\ndistinct perspective and emotional world. In every musical\nadventure SKC embarks upon\, his deep love of instruments\nshines through. This time\, too\, he travels with an\nimpressive collection of special guitars\, basses\, small\norgans\, analog synths\, and a striking automated snare drum\n– creating moments where it feels as though the trio is\njoined by an invisible musician. The music of Stef Kamil\nCarlens & THE POEM is pure and minimalist—stripped to\nits essence\, yet rich in emotion and imagination.  Line\nup: Nel Ponsaers:           keys &\nvocalsRahmat Emonds:     keys\, violin\, mandolin\,\npercussion & vocalsStef Kamil Carlens:  guitar\,\nbass\, harmonica\, keys & vocals\n\nhttps://www.abconcerts.be/en/agenda/stef-kamil-carlens-the-poem/a10Qw00000F3GafIAF
