Arts Centre Vooruit, Ghent, Belgium

Call it global village music: on “La Chambre”, Belgian boy/girl duo Soy un Caballo (Spanish translation: “I’m a horse”) and Louisville’s Will Oldham sing entirely in French over what is essentially indie-fied bossa nova. Backed by nothing but an acoustic guitar, a Rhodes piano and a brokedown rhythm preset, Oldham and Aurélie Muller sound weightless and content, their half-sighed verses resolving into sweet choral refrains. Of course, the language doesn’t hurt either; it’s downright charming to hear Oldham’s woodsy Kentuckian palette wrap itself around a French lyric.
