Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)

Festival Couleur Café- The Couleur café is a festival that proposes a full array of music styles coming from all over the world. With more than 40 concerts over three days, Couleur Café offers the best of R&B, hip hop, world, afro, reggae, ragga, dub, dancehall, Latin, salsa, electro and rock. Some extra juicy ingredients are added such as the bright souks and decorations, world food stalls, craftsmen and blazing brass bands. Couleur Café is an apt reflection of the city it calls home, Brussels, with its cultural mix that makes travelling the world as easy as looking out your front window. Couleur Café is more than a globe-trotting urban festival. Mandingfoli- Manding Foli is a percussion school founded in Brussels in 2005 by Babara Bangoura. His goal is to transfer West-African culture and traditional music. The AISBL organises lessons on a regular basis, workshops in Belgium and abroad, events like concerts, festivals, animations, team building, etc.

A place to not be missed; there are a lot in the city:, the "chips" in the Jourdan place, the best chips in the city, I love the "disco-restaurant" Bazaar that if I`m not in grong is in the Capuchins rue next to the "palais de Justice". You can rate too as event "The music Party" , the city has cocerts for all places. Amd places very, very interestings for me, because I love the art and the architecture are the little museun of Ixelles, little but very warm and all the axpresions of the "art-nouveau" that you can find in Brussels ( Victor´s Horta house, Stoclet Palace, The Comic´s Museum, etc,..

Cafe de la Bourse (it has a Flemish name but I don't remember it). On campus until when exams come they have a lot of crazy parties (TD) where all people drink a lot, mostly bear. Students really have a lot of things to do, if you know how to search. Oxford Café is for Erasmus students. Le Soum is a good disco. Brussels, in the beginning can be very boring, so you must do your work.

Everybody used to go to Tavern on Wednesdays or to Carpe Diem on Tuesdays..On Fridays we often went to Cabraliego (They have cheap drinks there) There are many bars, cafes and clubs in Brussels.

The whole quartier next to the Bourse is good for having some drinks on weekends....and everyday there is a suoerbe fleamarket on place jeux de balles....

The best places to have a beer around the ULB are "Le Tavernier" and "l´Atellier" , and about restaurants, "La Bastoche" is the best in price/quality.
