NONAME Elbphilharmonie Konzert
In the organizer's words:
EN
Eloquent, angry and humorous: one of today's most prominent activists and rappers artfully combines jazz, soul and hip-hop at the Elbphilharmonie.
Rolling Stone music magazine described Noname as "one of the best rappers alive", and her three studio albums to date have secured her a permanent place in the music critics' best of the year lists. Born Fatimah Nyeema Warner in Chicago in 1991, the musician combines jazz, soul and hip-hop to create a timeless sound that focuses on her examination of politics and society. Shaping a younger generation of political musicians, including the US-American akua naru (who is a guest at the summer festival with Ensemble Resonanz), Noname aims for an intellectual depth of rap as a linguistic art form that expresses black identity and captures a complex present. This depth is also the essence of good literature, which the activist and daughter of a bookseller deals with in her Noname Book Club, which focuses on books by people of color and initiates programs such as "Books for Prisons". For the Elbphilharmonie, Noname, who has already been invited twice to the legendary Tiny Desk Concert on National Public Radio, is designing a special set with ensemble for the Great Hall - one of four cooperation concerts between the Kampnagel International Summer Festival and the Elbphilharmonie.

Eloquent, fierce, and full of wit - one of the most compelling voices in contemporary hip-hop masterfully weaves jazz, soul, and rap together in a unique performance at the Elbphilharmonie.
Described by Rolling Stone Magazine as "one of the best rappers alive," Noname has secured a lasting place in critics' year-end lists with her three studio albums. Born as Fatimah Nyeema Warner in Chicago in 1991, the musician blends jazz, soul, and hip-hop into a timeless sound - one that serves as the foundation for her exploration of morality, politics, and society. A defining voice for a new generation of artists, Noname elevates rap as a literary art form, expressing Black identity and capturing the complexities of contemporary life. This intellectual depth also defines great literature, which Noname, the daughter of a bookseller, celebrates through her Noname Book Club. The club highlights work by authors of Color and runs a prison book program, further intertwining her activism with her artistry. At Elbphilharmonie, Noname, who has been invited twice to NPR's legendary Tiny Desk Concert, presents a specially curated set with an ensemble in the Grand Hall. This performance, along with Rufus Wainwright's ''Dream Requiem'' and Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, is one of four collaborative concerts between the Elbphilharmonie and the International Summer Festival Kampnagel.
