Spilar

Biography

Spilar is one of the emerging revelations of the new Belgian folk scene. The quintet got off to a flying start with the release of their debut album “Stormweere” (2020) which was warmly praised and welcomed by the press and public. They saw them nominated for the Flanders Folk Awards two years in a row as they performed an impressive series of concerts. Their music has a contemporary, open sound - drums, keyboards and guitar adding a deep and dark soundtrack to the magically blending voices of sister and brother Eva and Maarten Decombel. Together they seek out beautiful ballads and old traditional songs from their own soil but set them alongside carefully chosen gems from Béla Fléck, Jacques Brel or Richard Thompson.
