Aleph Quintet

Aleph Quintet, which won awards at the Journées Musicales de Carthage in Tunisia and the Prix de la Presse Musicale in France, is one of the revelations of the Brussels music scene.

Supported by the Igloo Records label, the group's debut album Shapes of Silence (2023) highlighted the union of these five musicians, bears witness to their roots, and retraces the years of travel during which the collective united around this music. Without imposing borders and driven by their generosity, North-African music blends with jazz improvisation, Gnawa rhythms and Sufi culture. This first album featured two prestigious guests from the Belgian jazz scene: Manuel Hermia and Fabrizio Cassol (AKA Moon). In 2024, the follow-up Shapes of Silence (Live) will be released, recorded in Brussels at Senghor with Belgian saxophonist Fabrizio Cassol and Turkish percussionist Ismail Altunbas. This live recording highlights the expression of a group at the height of its energy after a long tour through Belgium, France, Spain, Morocco and Jordan.
