CHARLOTTE ADIGÉRY & BOLIS PUPUL

Cultural appropriation. Misogyny and racism. Vanity on social media. Post-colonialism and political correctness. They’re not exactly subjects you’d expect to be faced with on the dancefloor, but Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul don’t care about your silly social rules. The duo from Ghent, who broke through in 2019 with their ‘Zandoli EP’ on Soulwax’ label DEEWEE, occupy a unique space as storytellers in the electronic music scene. In Belgium, we’ve been huge fans since Charlotte’s cameo on Soulwax’ ‘Belgica’ soundtrack, but in the meantime, the duo has conquered the world, earning Pitchfork’s ‘Best New Music’ for their debut album ‘Topical Dancer’.

 Absolute bangers like ‘Blenda’, ‘Hah’ and ‘Ceci n’est pas un cliché’ keep both your midriff moving and your heart firmly in its right place. Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul have an intense connection with the zeitgeist, and mold it with playful synths and drum machines into something very danceable – never pedantic, always with a wink.

Following their sold-out show at the AB, Charlotte and Bolis will be coming to Bruges as well. Cactus Club is where it’s at!

Practical information:
Student Concert Night is a brand-new collaboration between Brugge Studentenstad and Cactus Music Centre: together we select a number of concerts from the Cactus programme during the academic year, for which you, as a student* at a Bruges campus, can buy a ticket with a 50% discount on the regular ticket price! So this concert costs €11.50 instead of €23. Be quick, because the number of tickets at preferential rate per concert is limited.

Tickets at this special rate can only be bought on presentation of a valid student ID card* at the In&Uit Brugge box office, 't Zand 34 (ground floor of Concertgebouw). In&Uit is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am - 1 pm and 2 pm - 5 pm and on Sunday from 10 am - 2 pm.
