King Ayisoba (Ghana)
This is the traditional kologo music from the Upper East Region of Ghana brought with the energy and flavor of the twenty first century. King Ayisoba sings in Fra Fra, Twi and in English and is a number one star in Ghana who won many prices for best pop song and best traditional song at the same time! There is a whole new scene now starting after King Ayisoba introduced the super catchy kologo beats to the bigger audiences in Ghana and abroad. The kologo is a two string guitar with a calabash gourd resonator, it is rhythmic and melodic at the same time.Traditionaly kologo performances occur at local pito bars, weddings, funerals, festivals or spontaneous jams on the street. Today we will see the force and spirit here, around the corner; learn wise lessons and dig up the future.

Zea + special guest Oscar Jan Hoogland
Zea performances are always a complete blast. He deploys guitar and sampler for an almighty bout of crazily high energy songs. Urgent lyrics over guitar, roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers! This evening Oscar Jan Hoogland will join Zea on piano.
“It’s incredibly bonkers, that’s for sure, but it’s so bloody energetic, so bull headed and so schizophrenic in its approach to crafting a tune that you simply can’t fail to be impressed by it…The results are astonishing.” Incendiary Magazine

Rough Americana
R.A. ” is dedicated to a new, urgent, improvisational & functional music existing wholly in the 21st ct while embracing all that has come before (umpth to 1st generational). Craft’s ‘AfroAmerican’-Viking and Mutamassik’s Italicized-Egyptian roots draw bridges between MEMPHIS, USA and MEMPHIS, AFRICA……..picking up frequencies from Unseen Forces. Raw, visceral, blazing new trails in sound….stay open to receive messages. This is the new hard-core grit-prov that brings fire to electronic music. nicca metal.” MUSIC TO INCITE/INSIGHT
