opening concert of 25. Kassel World Music Festival
Mit TRIPLET (BGR) und JAMILA AND THE OTHER HEROES (SYR/D/ITA/USA/NLD)
Friday, 29.04.2023, in the foyer of the Kasseler Sparkasse (Wolfsschlucht 9)
TRIPLET TRIO is a newly formed band of virtuoso Bulgarian musicians. With a lot of live experience – from the Bulgarian wedding to the major world stages – these musicians present a sound, which is open in all directions. Improvised and at the same time very groovy, they always bring something unexpected and new to the concerts.
JAMILA & THE OTHER HEROES combine PSYCHEDELIC DESERT FUNK with political content. While racist hate speech is becoming increasingly socially acceptable in many circles of our society, the five musicians have it together:made the task inside, Prejudices against people with migration backgrounds- and to dismantle the history of refugees and make the richness of cultural diversity audible. The band combines psychedelic rock with elements of funk and Arabic folklore.
