De lokroep van de roots #1

A beautifully rendered cover sets the stage for this 2012 Belgian album, where a elegantly dressed young woman in a white hat — a single tear on her cheek, green eyes catching the light — is framed against a sweeping early-20th-century Harlem streetscape of grand buildings and bustling traffic. The evocative contrast between her intimate emotional moment and the vibrant city behind her speaks to a story steeped in longing and cultural identity. Gaël Séjourné's linework and Jean Verney's rich coloring make this first installment of De Lokroep van de Roots a visually striking invitation to explore one of history's most celebrated urban neighborhoods.
