28.9. – CALI & Nils Edte in concert
An evening together with Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart
CALI
If you want to get to know Caroline d'Orville, you should ask Cali, Cali Krawalli or Dj Mc Apocalilypse. But they will only send you to Caliversum anyway, where she not only lets off steam as a video artist, but also musically with the Peter Muffin Trio (composition, electric bass, vocals) and Zirkel (composition, vocals, synthesizer, guitar). She loves unconventional bass playing and performing, and on very special days she also goes solo. Then her four-language vocals, covered in fine dust, tell of strange worlds in which anything is possible. With Cali, only the now counts - powerfully supported by Philipp Knoth (Peter Muffin Trio, Yum Yum Club, Die Hälfte, formerly Karies + Die Nerven) on drums.

30.11. – ABENAA & Diplomatic Fun in concert
An evening together with Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart
Abenaa
Abenaa is a singer/songwriter with Ghanaian roots. With her soulful voice, she takes her listeners into the deep abysses of humanity. She also unpacks her rap skills, with which she criticizes topics such as racism and our sometimes cold, empathy-less society and thus speaks to many people from the soul. Her musical path was mainly self-taught. However, she took to the stage early on as a dancer and later as a performance artist. Abenaa represents a new generation of female artists who write their own rules. Radical social criticism and yet sexy - the young black artist wants to empower people to live 100% authentically and break down stereotypes.
