For their first Close Up evening, VOX-POP’s new team of student programmers invites you to explore how sound and music can help us experience other perspectives. Through conversation and live music, the evening brings artistic practice into dialogue with academic insights. We welcome Wazo Bean, a band whose songs take the perspectives of animals and geological formations as their starting point.
The Close Up evenings are developed by a new team of student programmers each year. Together with academics, artists and professionals, they explore social questions through cultural events at VOX-POP. Join them for an evening of listening, conversation and connection.

The Band
Tune into WAZO BEAN’s all-life radio station, for ultrasonic moth music, electromagnetic field bee operas, and the hottest mudskipper love songs! The Amsterdam-based Primal Neo-Soul collective brings raw, groove-based music from the perspective of non-human life.
Their debut album “ways of being” will be out with SuperSonic Jazz in March 2027, a journey through different life lenses, from the nighttime swamp of singing toads and the dreams of mammals of the feline family to the percussive poems of cicadas in a hot summer day.
