Café Chocolat, is a music series and community building event. 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.
“An evening of Bantu Soul, global rhythms, and diasporic celebration”… Café Chocolat returns officially with another edition of its community-rooted series, presenting an unforgettable evening led by Batila & The Dream Bus—a Berlin-based collective of outstanding international musicians known for their soul-stirring fusion of grooves, melodies, and ancestral rhythm. The sound? Bantu Soul—music by people, for people—coined by bandleader and songwriter Batila, whose Congolese roots and deep love for Rumba Congolaise anchor this rich and spiritual sonic journey.
INTRODUCING Guests:
Morena Leraba is the stage name of Teboho Mochaoa, a musician and shepherd from Lesotho who blends traditional Sesotho Famo music with global sounds to create a hypnotic, genre-defying style. With electrifying live performances, acclaimed collaborations (Major Lazer, Damon Albarn’s Africa Express, BLK JKS), and his 2023 debut record Fela sa Ha Mojela, he has become an internationally celebrated voice. Rooted in the mountains of Lesotho yet shaped by the energy of Johannesburg, Leraba’s music carries stories of migration, resilience, and spiritual calling — a powerful fusion of past and present, rural and urban, local and global.
DJ: Calamidades Lola is a record hunter and dj/selector born and raised in Barranquilla, a city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia with a powerful culture of celebration and where music is a sure path to joy and liberation.
She grew up surrounded by massive and colorful ‘picó’ sound systems that made the whole barrio vibrate with African and Caribbean rhythms. She currently lives in Berlin and much of her sound is influenced by her musical roots and her migratory experience.
