Sinds het ontstaan van Orchestre International du Vetex (begin 2004 in de loods van de Vetex-textielfabriek in Kortrijk) heeft de groep niet stilgezeten: van Sarajevo tot de Praagse metro, van de Olympische Winterspelen in Turijn tot prestigieuze jazzfestivals in Graz, Jelenia Gora, Nis, Santander en Montreal – de teller staat intussen op meer dan 500 concerten. Recent nog trokken ze doorheen Argentinië en Uruguay, in het spoor van niemand minder dan Manu Chao.
Orchestre International du Vetex bestaat in 2014 tien jaar, en dat feest mag u niet missen.

After our Argentinian experience last november, Vetex is now working on some interesting concertdates and festivals in Spain.

Vetex is now part of the roster of the worldmusix agency 'El Espiritu del Sur' from Huesca. They are representing a wide variety of world music artists from all over the world. And the first confirmations for concerts in Spain are now coming in.

On 21 and 22 of June, Vetex will be playing on the nice 'Poborina Folk Festival' in the province of Teruel, Aragon. More Spanish summer dates will be confirmed soon.

Looking for a nice christmass present? 'En avant, Marche! is a nice photobook from Vlamo (flemisch music federation  for windbands and fanfares) and publicer Kannibaal. Photographer Stephan Vanfleteren made some nice pictures from one off his favorite bands, Orchestere International du Vetex.

Take a look around at the non-published pictures from vetex.
