XJAZZ FESTIVAL Berlin 2016

05/05/ - 08/05/16

X-BERG - Various Locations

Nach Club-Konzerten über den Winter macht das Jazz-Festival XJAZZ Anfang Mai zum dritten Mal ganz Kreuzberg unsicher. Vom 5. bis 8. Mai stehen über 70 Konzerte in Clubs, Bars und Kirchen an. Jazz zu definieren fällt schwer – daher vereint das mittlerweile international bekannte Festival ganz frei Jazz mit improvisierter Electronica, Singer-/Songwritern oder Neo-Klassik. Dabei setzt XJAZZ wie auch in den Vorjahren vor allem auf Künstler, die in Berlin leben. Die meisten Musiker können also – wie auch hoffentlich ihr – ganz entspannt mit dem Fahrrad zum Konzert kommen. Das Partnerland ist dieses Jahr nach Island und Israel die Türkei geworden. Schließlich lebt in Berlin die größte türkische Gemeinde außerhalb der Türkei.

MOP MOP feat. ANTHONY JOSEPH & WAYNE SNOW
Record Release Show & Afterparty w/ Osúnlade!

06/05/16

20h30

PRINCE CHARLES

Mop Mop continue their journey through musically wide open spaces and places. Refining their sound even more, creating an unique and deep atmosphere based on the idea of traditional Gnawa rhythms mixed with a heavy Dub-Jazz-Funk pulse. They left the „Isle Of Magic“ - but the magical experience of their music and vibe gets even more exciting . . . ... as ANDREA BENINI and MOP MOP once again take a wonderful imaginary trip to a place which echoes and results in another deep musical trip. From the „Isle Of Magic“ to „Lunar Love“ which will be released on May 6th on Agogo Records.

CYMANDE

07/05/16

19h00

BI NUU

All the founding members of Cymande are back to play together again for a special concert celebrating the work of this seminal British funk group. Cymande were simply one of the biggest bands to come out of the British black music scene in the 1970s. Blending a range of African-Caribbean and African-American styles, with a British flavour, they were particularly successful in the US. Legendary producer John Schroeder produced their debut single "The Message", which hit the top 20 in the US and, like their other tracks such as "Bra" and "Dove", has been sampled by many pop and rap acts, including The Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, De La Soul, etc.

First and only show in Germany!

EMMAUSKIRCHE

Manchester based, DJ, bandleader and trumpeter Matthew Halsall is one of the UKʼs brightest talents. A gifted trumpeter with a beautiful, expressive tone, his music draws on his love of the transcendental, spiritual and modal jazz of Alice and John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, as well as the glories of 60s British jazz.
