Laurent Doumont - L'americano at The Music Village

Laurent Doumont has been taking his grooves out to clubs and festivals on the streets of Brussels and abroad for more than 20 years, trying to bring color to Belgium’s grey.

Laurent Doumont has been taking his grooves out to clubs and festivals on the streets of Brussels and abroad for more than 20 years, trying to bring color to Belgium’s grey. Recently, an introspective quest of his Sicilian descent gave birth to the « Americano » project. Twelve great Italian standards joyfully adapted in the Soul Jazz idiom he cares for. A very personal project indeed.
Try to imagine Celentano, Modugno or Paolo Conte covered in the manner of Marvin Gaye, Al Green or Serge Gainsbourg... If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the waves on the beaches of Capri.

Laurent Doumont promène ses grooves depuis une vingtaine d’années de club en festival, sur les pavés de Bruxelles et d’ailleurs avec l’ambition d’en égayer la grisaille. Récemment une quête introspective de ses origines siciliennes a donné vie au projet l’Americano, douze grands standards italiens joyeusement adaptés dans un esprit soul-jazz.
Imaginez Celentano, Modugno ou Paolo Conte traités à la manière de Marvin Gaye, Al Green ou Serge Gainsbourg... En fermant les yeux, vous pourrez presque entendre les vagues sur les plages de Capri !
