Like the warm, sand-carrying winds they’re named after, Calima blurs musical boundaries and reshapes sonic landscapes. This narrative-driven jazz quintet crafts music that moves like drifting dunes – fluid, unpredictable, and rich with texture. With each performance, they invite listeners into a world where melody and rhythm become storytelling tools, and improvisation redraws the map.

Winners of the 2025 Keep an Eye International Jazz Award at Bimhuis, Calima creates music that is as atmospheric as it is alive – always in motion, always becoming.
