Cumbia and Steel
The Hamburg-based Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band combines Caribbean steel pan sounds with funk, soul and hip-hop – they are known for their cover version of 50 Cent’s »P.I.M.P.«. Turkish artist Peki Momés brings a visceral, psychedelic-colored version of global groove music to the stage. The lineup will be completed by the Cumbia im Viertel Crew, who will provide a club-ready party night with a mix of classic cumbia and tropical bass.
