Café Chocolat, is a new music series and community building event created by Melissa Perales (M:Soundtrack, Durchlüften, Music Pool Berlin) and Batila (the Dream bus, BantuSoul Allstars). We aim at celebrating and supporting local talents and newcomer black and brown artists & DJ’s within the diaspora of Germany’s communities. Our main thesis is that when communities are supported and treated fairly they will thrive. This includes everyone from the artists on stage, to the door person or the sound engineer - We believe with more emphasis on “all of us”, we can create a more equitable event and make a contribution to our music scene. Please come out and support our efforts so we can continue this event!
mari.ama embodies Afropoean culture with roots spreading across Sierra Leone, Guinea, Germany, France, Czech Republic and Norway - a blend of influences that resonates through her music. Fulani nomad by heritage, she weaves melodic trails from the urban landscapes of Freetown, Cologne, Paris and Berlin, leaving a fusion of folk, soul, pop, beats, and West African instruments in her wake. Embracing the notion that home can be found between worlds, mari.ama forges her own sonic realm where Afrodiasporic and Western sounds serve as vessels for stories of depth and lightness.
Adelle Nqeto's music stems from the gaze of an introverted observer with a passion for melody and stories. Rooted in South African folk and exploring Jazz, Indie and Pop sensibilities, the Berlin-based musician’s work expresses the beauty and complexity in our human reality. Quite fittingly, her music style has been labelled as “Alternative African Folk”.
DJ Ghostpoet - Obaro Ejimiwe (Ghostpoet) is a Berlin Based artist, musician, Dj and curator with a Nigerian/Dominican background playing a heady mix of the Afro-diaspora sounds from his London upbringing and travels worldwide.
DJ Radio Hobo Berlin based, is a german-venezuelan DJ, curator and founder of radio shows like „Troptopia“ on Cashmere Radio or the rare groove radio show RRYTM on THF Radio. Since over a decade Radio Hobo's vinyl sets are packed with tropical sounds from the 60s-80s and have brought him from Bruxelles to Rotterdam, Cape Verde to Mali. He played for radio stations all over the world (Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, Bruxelles’ Kiosk Radio, Istanbul’s Year Zero, Soho Radio London, to name a few) and Gigs at Berlin Venues such as Humboldt Forum, Anima, Bartausend, Monarch or Acud. Where he plays there is "Tropical Heat Guaranteed“!
OUR House band : Batila & The Dream Bus - �Berlin based live Band with excellent musicians such as Dodo NKishi on the drums, known from the iconic electronic group Mouse and Mars, upcoming Guitarist and producer Skyline Sun, Paul Hoyle on Bass, Inspiring Producer, Singer and healer Nane Kahle on backingvocals. Sam Konzi on guitar, Adam Pawel Dziewialtowski-Gintowt and on percussion and on keys: Mauricio Fleury with Batila as the Band leader and songwriter, the sound of the Dreambus is quite unique, which Batila himself baptized as Bantu Soul, a fusion of all genres created and inspired by people of african descent. Bantu, the plural of muntu means people. “Music by people for people '' as Batila likes to say. Batila’s roots are in the Kongo and with his Artistic being he clearly declares his love for la “Rumba Congolaise '' and his continent. The sound is groovy, melodic with empowering messages and stories which will take you on a spiritual journey. And since it is a Dreambus, you will also experience many other extraordinary Artists jumping on and off the Bus.
Concept of the evening: The Dream Bus takes you on a musical journey performing their music (The members are from all over the world and their sound reflects this) AND jumping on an off the Bus are guests who will perform 2-3 songs each to give us a taste of their work, showcasing the amazing artists, poets, dancers and or multi-instrumentalists of the community! and we will always provide continued good music after the live show with a DJ who will bring it all together. When possible food will be available for sale outside the venue and special drinks on the menu at the bar.
Welcome to our table - the "Cafe CHOCOLAT STORE" will be available from this evening on with artists merchandise, perhaps clothing and craftwork or food. Our evening supports our community and we hope you feel welcome and join us in lifting everyone up! It's a PRE CHRISTMAS shop!
