Free, outdoors and under palm trees: this summer, the DURCHLÜFTEN music festival will once again transform the Humboldt Forum's large Schlüterhof courtyard into a lively meeting place for sound, rhythm and culture.
Over four weekends, music from all over the world will radiate from the stage: from the raw energy of Mexican cumbia punk to the hypnotic groove of Kenyan dodo blues, from the electrifying syncopation of Congolese soukous to the powerful messages of Afrofuturist big bands.
Japanese folk with a Caribbean influence, soulful jazz, hip-hop and the joy and resilience of the Frafra gospel round off this celebration of sound - boundless, multi-perspective and irresistibly danceable!
Jaliya (Berlin)
Jaliya is an innovative Afro-fusion band from Berlin that combines the traditional rhythms of West Africa with the harmonic structures of jazz and modern electronic elements. Inspired by the heritage of the griots - the West African storytellers and musicians - the band brings a sound to the stage that preserves cultural roots while breaking new musical ground.
With international members from the African, European and South American diaspora, Jaliya stands for musical and cultural exchange. Their music is a dynamic mixture of complex rhythms, rousing improvisations and innovative soundscapes - influenced by greats such as Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and modern pioneers of electronic music.
Jaliya sees music as a bridge between tradition and modernity, as an expression of identity and as a means of promoting cultural dialog. With every performance, they celebrate the diversity and power of music as a universal language.
