Bozar Bassment #7: Crystallmess (live) - Akano Toto (live)

The new Bozar Bassment concert series explores electronic and experimental music. On 16 April 2026 at 18h30 at Bozar, international and local artists present live performances with visuals below street level.

Akano Toto (live)
Composer, pianist and DJ Akano Toto is known in the Brussels club scene and now presents a live project, Gasy-Core - Razana. Connected to the Malagasy diaspora through his mother, he got to know the traditional music genres salegy and tsapiky, both linked to celebrations and family rituals honouring the dead. He juxtaposes this heritage with doom and gothic aesthetics, jazz piano, guitar riffs and high-speed vocals.

Crystallmess (live)
Christelle Oyiri, aka Crystallmess, is usually behind a DJ booth, but presents the Belgian premiere of her latest live show. The Parisian artist, daughter of Ivorian and Guadeloupean parents, challenges linear and Eurocentric genealogies of musical history in her work. In her words, she works between the lines and allows her own life story to interact with collective memory.
