Atum Shekhem - Still Hesitate

"Who Are You" is the first single from the new album "The Trail" by Berlin-based musician and artist Miss Kenichi. A gently chased, dark hymn to the need not to be deterred. The song has already caught attention since it was used in the multiply distinguished movie "Free Fall" and gives a promising lookout to the album, which will be released in autumn 2014.

Jeden Freitag präsentiert die WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN Global Music vom Feinsten.

Balkan Acoustic Fusion aus Berlin mit The Balkonians & Friends!
Seit 2013 gibt es sie, dieses Trio aus Berlin. Cello, Sopransaxophon und Gitarre. Klänge, überwiegend östlich, mal melancholisch, mal freudig-tanzwütig.

Eine gemeinsame Liebe zur europäischen Folkmusik verbindet sie, aber – wie der Name schon vermuten lässt – es ist die osteuropäische Musik, die den Ton angibt und ihren Stil prägt. Und ab und zu, wenn es sich ergibt, kommen befreundete Musiker_innen dazu: Balkonians & Friends!

Besetzung:

    Markus Renner - Cello
    Jenka Bühler - Sopransaxophon
    Mike Hembury - Gitarre
    Uwe Langer - Trompete, Posaune, Tenorhorn
    Christoph Renner - Percussion
    Sarah Renner - Gesang

OANA CATALINA CHITU (RO): DIVINE
Romanian songs from the repertoire of Maria Tănase (1913-1963)
Maria Tănase is loved in Romania like no singer that has followed her. Even before the Second World War she performed folk songs, tangos, romances, couplets and căntece de mahala, music from the suburbs, in restaurants, in revue theatres and on the radio, usually accompanied by Roma musicians, the lăutari. Tănase developed her own expressive way of interpretation, making songs of every origin her own. Then the iron curtain fell between Eastern and Western Europe. Maria Tănase was increasingly forgotten in Romania throughout the 1960s, because her dramatic doinas or the oriental-sounding songs from the mahala, did not fit into the limited concept of man held by certain party officials. Maria Tănase was too much the extravagant diva and individualistic artist to allow herself to be co-opted by the state, let alone move even one millimetre towards mediocrity. And so in June 1963 she was buried like a queen at Bucharest's Bellu Cemetery. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets for her final journey. It wasn't until the 1990s before a new light was cast on the legacy of Maria Tănase. She was able to be rediscovered.In 2013, Romanians are celebrating the centenary of Maria Tănase's birth. This anniversary inspired the Romanian Oana Cătălina Chiţu, who lives in Berlin, to pay homage to the great singer.Oana Cătălina Chiţu grew up in northern Romania. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Ceauşescu regime, she moved to Berlin. Upon her arrival, she founded the Balkan band Romenca with Serbian accordion player Dejan Jovanovic, but her yearning for Romanian songs and her love of the artist Maria Tănase never disappeared. At the same time Oana Cătălina Chiţu is not an apologist, awestruck by the legacy of the Romanian diva Maria Tănase. She would like to enter into a dialogue with a phenomenal legacy which, with the exception of a few voices, has almost no creative follow-up in today's Romanian music scene. New Berlin acoustically encounters old Bucharest. Today, musicians from both countries are once again moving as easily between the two cities as they did in the 1930s, when tango singer Jean Moscopol performed in a Berlin casino or sang in the UFA film studios. Thanks to a large number of emigrants, music from the Balkans, and from Romania in particular, is better known in Berlin today than ever before; this is not restricted to a specific genre and goes far beyond the phenomenon of Balkan Beats. Oana Cătălina Chiţu is a part of this vibrant scene and her diva-like on-stage persona is reminiscent of times long past, when bohemians and intellectuals met in Bucharest's salons.

SUMMERTIME -Dorrey Lin Lyles & Soul Sexy @ Werkstatt der Kulturen

The WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN is a place of presentation and representation; of local and global, traditional and contemporary cultural practices and arts. In a world where local and global issues are inextricably linked to international migration stories, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN celebrates cultural difference!

As an event house and festival producer, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN commits itself to examining current cultural and political developments and addressing them through various art, action and cultural forms. In the heart of "Kreuzkölln", it creates (free) spaces for the commentary and active shaping of on-going discourses as well as the design and visualization of artistic and cultural productions from various artistic and cultural milieus of the city - taking particular consideration of the work of People of Color, Black people and members of other ethnic or cultural minorities.

As a platform for art, culture and action, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN is a meeting place for the many Berliners with close biographical ties to different regions and cultures of the world - and thus to different cultural milieus of the city.

Hosting up to 50 events every month, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN is one of the few cultural institutions in Germany, which focuses consistently on transculturality and diversity, and specifically emphasizes Berlin's multiplicity of migrant and minority cultural, art and action forms.

Under the motto "We celebrate cultural difference!" the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN transcends conventional genres by melding a diverse program of film (series), (henna) festivals, panel discussions (on cultural and migration policy), (Kurdish and Chinese) New Year celebrations, literature (nights), music (festivals), performances, dance (theater), (salsa) parties and other forms of encounter and exchange.

In collaboration with curators, artists, (cultural) associations and other experts, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN becomes a creation space for in-house productions and cooperations as well as host for rental events. Users and visitors are provided a vast space to explore issues and address the potentials and opportunities that come from urban lifestyles: In what historical contexts do we live and act? How do our biographies relate to each other? What prospects and potential for development do they hold? How can our living environment - with its everyday work as well as leisure and cultural activities - become more participatory, culturally diverse, inclusive, fair and thus more intelligent?
