THE BANDUDU WATER JAZZ BAND
Tervuren, Belgium
A jazz band formed by African water animals in the heart of Flemish Brabant.
“Bandundu Water Jazz Band” in the Flemish Brabant-Tervuren. The installation is located about eight miles from Brussels.
Created by Belgian artist Tom Frantzen, this sculptural fountain was installed in a roundabout and depicts various African water animals playing jazz. The band consists of crocodiles, frogs, a hippopotamus, pelican, lizard, and a turtle. The fountain is located opposite the Colonial Palace, which serves as an annex building for the Royal Museum for Central Africa.
The fountain features a circular motif to mimic discs rotating on a gramophone, including the water lilies that the animals stand on. The jazz band was intended to portray Africa’s influence on the various cultures of the world. During the winter, the fountain sometimes freezes over, beautifully decorating the sculptures with ice.
Bandundu is the name of a city in the Congo, a former Belgian colony, which was mercilessly exploited during the reign of King Leopold II.
