Van Mali Tot Mississippi
Musical globetrotter and top guitarist tells the story of the blues in a musical ‘one-man show’. As a teenager, guitarist Joep Pelt went to the south of the US to learn the blues. He met old heroes, who taught him the typical Delta blues style. Pelt hopelessly fell in love with the blues and decided to dig deeper. In his musical one-man show ‘From Mali to Mississippi’ Joep tells the story of the West African roots of the blues, traveling along the Caribbean slave routes to her birth in the south of the US, only to see her change the history of music forever. With his stories, photos, historical images and of course many songs that he collected along the way, Joep takes you on a special musical adventure.

Hailu Mergia + DJ Katapila
Dinsdag 29 Mei 2018 20:30
Van beroemd muzikant in Ethiopië naar taxichauffeur in Washington naar internationale ster. Dat is de carrière van de inmiddels legendarische Ethio Jazz-toetsenist en -accordeonist Hailu Mergia. Zijn vergeten muziek verwierf een cultstatus toen het in 2013 opnieuw werd uitgebracht door het Amerikaanse label Awesome Tapes From Africa. Nu is hij terug met zijn eerste nieuwe album sinds 15 jaar, Lala Belu.
Hailu Mergia maakte verschillende succesvolle albums in de jaren 70 en 80 met onder meer de Walias Band. Zijn karakteristieke, laidback funky en bedwelmende geluid is typisch voor de geliefde Ethiopische 70s jazz. Tegenwoordig treedt Mergia op met een jazztrio met Alem Kebede en Ken Joseph.
Support-act is de Ghanese DJ/producer en labelgenoot DJ Katapila. Zijn energieke, vrolijke en opzwepende DJ-sets zijn langzamerhand een begrip aan het worden. Live vult hij een meedogenloze muzikale selectie aan met elektronische percussie en kermisvocalen met volledige euforie tot gevolg.
