Rosa Butsi

The songs of Rosa Butsi emerge just like the first rays of sunshine or a delicate flutter of wings – each piece is a little chamber of wonders. With her warm, soulful voice, accompanying herself on the guitar, the Belgian musician introduces the audience to her very own mixture of jazz and singer-songwriter.

Rosa Butsi, whose real name is Roos Denayer, inherited her musical talent from her Hungarian grandmother and therefore uses her name for her musical alter ego. In 2020, she won the Brabant edition of the very popular music competition “SoundTrack” in Belgium. On her debut EP “Circle One” (2020), every song was inspired and accompanied by other musicians from her circle of friends. She is currently artist in residence at the Het Depot concert hall in Leuven, Belgium.

The artist performs both solo and with a band. In 2023 she will release her debut album with Trui Amerlinck on bass and Jordi Geuens on drums – as this trio she will also perform on the Seebühne.

The press says:

“Rosa Butsi sends shivers down our spines with her jazz-tinged country-blues guitar sound, with her catchy, sinuous, gentle and beautiful melodies.” (Le Soir)

“Very beautiful, meandering, jazzy guitar compositions that surprise and swim against the current at the right moments. Rose’s gentle voice completes them.” (Radio 1, Belgium)

“Denayer’s songs are on such a high level it puts them in the vicinity of Rickie Lee Jones and Joni Mitchell.” (Muziekblog Luminous Dash)
