Toasaves is a Belgian music collective with a fascination for medieval Flemish song and its relationship to both Early Music and modal music from the East. Toasaves is phonetic and means “home land” in the Antwerp accent. The ensemble was founded by oud player and musicologist Tristan Driessens and brings together a dozen artists from different countries and traditions, each with a broad artistic background and expertise. In collaboration with Brussels cultural associations Muziekpublique and Seyir Muzik, Toasaves recorded their debut album in the spring of 2021, which will be presented to the public early next year.
