Jlin

  • calendar_monthWed. 17/04/2024 schedule19:00
  • location_onJaki, Köln
  • confirmation_numberTickets from 18,00 Euro
  • infoJlin, geborene Jerrilyn Patton hat sich schnell zu einer der profiliertesten Komponistinnen Amerikas und zu einer der einflussreichsten Frauen der elektronischen Musik entwickelt. Jlins unverkennbarer Sound baut auf dem Chicagoer Footwork-Stil ihrer Ursprünge auf und erweitert ihn um vielfältige Einflüsse - von Igor Strawinsky und Philip Glass bis hin zu Miles Davis und Eartha Kitt - die ihrem komplexen, perkussionsgetriebenen Werk einen ausgefeilten polyrhythmischen Sound verleihen, der ganz und gar eigenständig ist.

    "Jlin is a phenomenal force of nature. She grew from the roots of footwork, in the speed of 165 beats per minute into a magnificent oak mother!" - Björk

  • infoMaceió, the capital of Brazil’s Alagoas state on its sprawling east-coast, is home to pastel coloured colonial houses, white sand beaches and a brilliant young composer, poet and multi-instrumentalist named Bruno Berle. With a voice of pure gold and a startling sensitivity for heartfelt pop songwriting, on No Reino Dos Afetos (In the Realm of Affections), Berle firmly embraces earnestness, through starry-eyed Brazilian love songs, ambient vignettes, warm, home-cooked beats and gentle strokes of MPB genius.

Sessa

  • calendar_monthWed. 17/07/2024 schedule19:00
  • location_onOpen-Air-Konzertraum GREEN ROOM, Köln
  • confirmation_numberTickets from 18,00 Euro
  • infoDer in São Paulo geborene Sänger, Songwriter und Produzent Sessa hat sich mit seiner modernen Interpretation der musikalischen Traditionen seiner Heimat Brasilien weltweit einen Namen gemacht. Das Magazin New Yorker feierte ihn als "einen Songwriter, der aus Velosos Form geschnitten und mit einem Gespür für das Intime, Rätselhafte und Zügellose gesegnet ist". Sessas Lieder sind auf Portugiesisch gesungen, mit sinnlichen Texten und melodischen Schnörkeln, die die Arbeit von Giganten wie Tom Jobim oder Arthur Verocai ergänzen. Sessas Musik ist jedoch bewusst minimalistisch gehalten, wie man es in der zeitgenössischen brasilianischen Musik selten findet, und erinnert eher an die unverblümte Kargheit eines Leonard Cohen.

    Sessas Live-Auftritte sind bezaubernde Erlebnisse, bei denen sowohl die Interpreten als auch das Publikum dem Schwung der Musik machtlos ausgeliefert sind. Während sich die Songs oft mit Themen wie dem sinnlichen Körper und der spirituellen Transzendenz befassen, weist die Musik in eine neue, subtilere Richtung der brasilianischen Popmusik - eine tiefe, minimalistische, fast angedeutete Verwendung der unendlich reichen Texturen und Rhythmen, die die Songwriting-Geschichte Brasiliens ausmachen und die Sessa zu den vielversprechendsten neuen Stimmen des Landes zählen.

  • location_onGEBÄUDE 9, Köln
  • confirmation_numberTickets from 25,00 Euro
  • infoMdou Moctar in its current iteration is first and foremost a band. Alongside Moctar, it consists of rhythm guitarist Ahmoudou Madassane, drummer Souleymane Ibrahim, and American bassist and producer Mikey Coltun. The band got their start performing at traditional weddings. These are high energy events – amps are dialed up to 11 and the whole town is invited to attend. "I grew up in the DC punk scene and this is no different," explains Coltun. "It’s a DIY punk show: people bring generators, they crank their amps. Things are broken, but they make it work."

    Funeral For Justice is the new album by Mdou Moctar to be released in 2024.
