Created by Belgian artist Tom Frantzen, this sculptural fountain was installed in a roundabout and depicts various African water animals playing jazz. The band consists of crocodiles, frogs, a hippopotamus, pelican, lizard, and a turtle. The fountain is located opposite the Colonial Palace, which serves as an annex building for the Royal Museum for Central Africa.
The fountain features a circular motif to mimic discs rotating on a gramophone, including the water lilies that the animals stand on. The jazz band was intended to portray Africa’s influence on the various cultures of the world. During the winter, the fountain sometimes freezes over, beautifully decorating the sculptures with ice.
We have professional bronze sculptors who have paid attention to make fountains when they were younger, they have rich experience in making this Bandundu Water Jazz Band fountain. If you are interested in the fountain please feel free to contact us.
