Mirano Continental
Lenny Kravitz
Since the 1980s, Mirano has been a key venue in Brussels' nightlife, attracting a trendy and cosmopolitan clientele. Invented the « Who's Who's Folies » concept. In the 1980s and 1990s, Mirano was a landmark of Brussels nightlife, drawing a crowd as fashionable as it was cosmopolitan. One evening, Lenny Kravitz turned up with an unexpected request: a private jam session put together for him with the finest musicians in Brussels. The request was granted at once. What better setting at the time than the Kaai, the intimate Brussels jazz club founded by a dozen enthusiasts, whose doors have sadly closed since. That night, Lenny Kravitz's wish was simple: to leave the microphone for the drums. Three hours of private jamming, among a handful of people, in the utmost simplicity. The intensity of that moment remains intact, and so does the memory. That too is the magic of Mirano: unique encounters and exceptional moments.
Clarification
Clarification: Lenny Kravitz was never booked to perform at Mirano Continental. This was a private visit, followed by a closed jam session at the Kaai, with no announcement, no ticketing and no photographer. No visual record of that night exists.
