‘Skek staat voor Stichting Kriterion EetKaffee en is in 2006 opgezet door een vijftal enthousiaste student

en werkzaam bij Studentenpomp Kriterion. Na drie jaar ontwikkelen, schrijven aan een onderzoeksplan en zoeken naar een pand en leden werd ‘Skek op de Zeedijk een feit. Het resultaat is een prachtig cultureel eetcafé in hartje Amsterdam. ‘Skek is volledig gebaseerd op het ideaal van de stichting Kriterion (waar ook onder andere bioscoop Kriterion en Studio/K bij horen) om studenten in verenigingsverband de kans te geven om een onderneming van a tot z op te zetten en te runnen. We doen alles zelf, van het maken van eten en het inkopen en tappen van biertjes, tot het ontwerpen van posters en het regelen van optredens. Inmiddels gaat dat al 15 jaar lang goed en worden we door velen als tweede huiskamer gezien. Bovendien houden we vast aan ons ideaal dat ‘Skek een eetcafé is voor en door studenten.

JUNE 11TH IN SKEK!

Marnix Alexander DuCroock ‘El Holandaluz’ is a Dutch guitarist who has developed a new approach to flamenco. He calls this style psychedelic flamenco. This is music using techniques and sounds from flamenco, but with pop verse-chorus structures. On his studio albums, his fondness for Pink Floyd is clearly audible through the Roger Waters-esque soundscapes he adds to his songs.

❗️Anne Dijkema got cancelled❗️

But no worries, we have a new performance happening tonight 22:00 at Skek!

Diego Cañada is a Spanish saxophonist and composer based between Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris. His music breathes between jazz, flamenco, Afro-Cuban traditions and improvisation. In search of a language where rhythm, movement and emotion become one.

For this evening he will be presenting “Gestos” a collective project where the communication between dance and music interact in a organic way through calls and responses carrying a oniric story exploring the depthness of human behavior.

An inmmersive experience for letting go and allowing the body to feel and connect with yourself.

Hope to see yaaa
🎷🎼🎺

16-17 o’clock “Vanilla Caliente” is a Caribbean-inspired project created by bassist Gabriel Timar, exploring the golden era of 1950s and 60s Haitian music. The band has two sides: the “Vanilla” side, featuring smooth, introspective melodies that draw listeners into a soulful world, and the “Caliente” side, bringing lively, horn-driven music made to set the dance floor on fire. A versatile ensemble, Vanilla Caliente can perform as a full big band, a small intimate combo, or as a backing band, bringing warmth, energy, and Caribbean grooves to any setting

21:30-22:30 “BASTI BUNCH” When words cannot go as loud as you want the Basti Bunch comes to break the rules and set the stage on fire. This quintet blends an acoustic and electric sound that looks for a new sonority in the jazz fusion world, you can move along to the music but your ears and brain can also enjoy it.
Sebastian Vega is the leader/composer/bassist of the band and next to him is, Seppo Kitachev on guitar, Ilay Schachal on sax, Juyoung Byun on the keys and Finn Hughs on drums. We blend all our influences and each time a new composition arrives we just let the chemistry happen
