The best ideas come out of nowhere. Without too much thinking. Spontaneous. You start singing something. Someone joins in on the piano. Someone else starts hitting the drums. And suddenly it’s there: magic. You look at each other. You read in each other’s eyes: “This is great. This begs for more.”

That’s how pop star Gabriel Rios, jazz virtuoso Jef Neve and talented percussionist Kobe Proesmans found each other one evening at the Zamu Awards. Neve featured on Rios’s Morehead and now the three of them are on stage to perform each other’s songs stripped down to the bare essentials.

The Puerto Rican Belgian Gabriel Rios makes delicious pop for a large audience. His songs Broad Daylight, What’s This?, Angelhead and I’m Gonna Die Tonight were all huge hits. Pianist Jef Neve on the other hand is the hot young talent on the Belgian jazz scene. His albums are the biggest selling jazz recordings in Belgium and he’s received rave reviews across the globe. Percussionist Kobe Proesmans completes the trio. After his studies in Havana he developed a unique musical style. He’s already worked with Arno, Zita Swoon, Magnus, dEUS, El Tattoo del Tigre and Obatala
