ABOUT
Follia! means party time! Musical madness, distilled from across the world and bottled in Belgium, like our finest beers ;-). A healthy contemporary trendsetter. A lively, up-to-the-minute band for your festival, dance hall, or arts centre.
Early in 1999, Johan Decancq and Sammy Lee Daese played two legendary concerts in Praid and Târgu Mureș, Romania. Under the Romanian sky and nurtured by the richly flowing țuică, the crossover concept of Follia!, where folk and jazz musicians combine the best of both worlds, finally came to full bloom. The band Follia! was created!
In the past two years, they worked hard on the creation of the third album that is ready now. A pre-release concert took place on Friday, 3 October 2014, in the sold-out venue Charlatan in Ghent, Belgium.
Last March, they toured in Hungary and Romania with Takáts Eszter Beat Band.
Next summer, 2015, Follia! is available to tour all over Europe.
Follia!, the third album from the band of the same name, takes a look into the rich journey that is life. All important emotions have their place: the relativity of our existence, "Sturm und Drang," uncontrollable life desire, but also fear, fear of the unknown that life brings. And here's Follia!'s advice: embrace life, with deep respect, Carpe Diem!
