Program overview

Programm with band and speaker information

04:00 pm Speak by the demonstration leader Steffen Geyer
04:05 pm - Ganjaman (Conscious Dancehall - Reggae)
Ganjaman is not only a regular music interpreter but a translator, who transforms the classic caribian reggea into our times and adapts them into the reality of the "white men". More important for him than his indisputable talent for Riddim and Lyrics is the chance to politicaly awaken his audience. - If you know this it is not surprising that the ganjatracks have a clear political message. Legalize the Lämmerbrot, because it will liberate the nations and the souls of the people from the slavery and repression of Babylon. Hemp is pure pristine nature and nature is live and live is love and love is RasTafari.
If you would like to visit a live concert of Ganjaman, please take a look at the event calender of MKZWO. The current album of Ganjaman is "Resonanz".
04:30 pm - Reading of a greeting message by:
Kerstin Jüngling (Chief of the Fachstelle Suchtprävention des Landes Berlin)

In 19993 while he was on tour across Europe, he visited Germany for the first time. After a while he settled down in Berlin and developed his personal distinctive african style in this multicultural city. FÔÔ FANICK & ONE ROOTS today deliver hot Afro- beat, play their unmistakable grovvy Reggea and draw a complex bow from first class world music to modern afro pop.

In Oktober 2004 the brothers Ted and Grog decided to become muicaly active together. As the Anarocho-Singer-Songwriter they are, they did not stay at the house for a long time and started playing more then 40 times in the last year. They do not ony play in clubs or concert halls but also at demonstrations, in squat houses or at the Punkerpicknik. - Although they have fun with maintained nonsens, Teds´n´Grog understand themself as political artists. In their songs they speak about the daily slavery of money and the idioty of the Berlin government. We recommend that you listen to the Schliemannsong for example!

In the beginning there was a CD on a crossing in Berlin. - Scratched and dirty she wakens the attention of the bassist Lutz, which brought her with him to the probationary room at the same night. The drummer David and guitar player Kai where there waiting for him. After the first records Nils enriched the taste with his sythesizer and developed the recept of the band. Finaly the voice of the trombonist Devin, here without her instrument, made club night gourmets snaping their tounge. Today five persons enter the stage and their name is an invention to fantasyful partys - ItaloPorno.

The italian bold head (git), the blonde north light (voc), the persian Zappa (drums) and the wild Ossi (bass) have to do music and nothing else. The four "non-workers" meet in Berlin and their music is as colorful as their ancestry. The hard guitar is fondled by the female voice and enravished by the melody Wild soli, shouted singing and playful cadences, but also weak riffs, whispered text and catchy grooves are the music of Skin Diary. Since April Skin Diary are working with Fabio Trentini, bassist of the H-Blockx and producer of the Guano Apes, at the Horus studio in Hannover. Who likes music of the other kind, for hearing, dancing and amazement, is invited by Skin Diary charming but hard!

Klartext is more then hip hop. The band is a big family, a unity on stage and with the audience. The Berlin border hip hop crew was founded in 2000 and enveloped forward since then. The nine musicians never settle for a record till they reached what is called the typical Klartext sound: rap meets jazz, soul, funk and reggea. The program of Klartext is a combination of the tracks arranged by the instruments and the sythetic beats by Akai. They mix german lyrics with Patois, english and spanish. The boys are looking at their lives with their songs and reflect everything that was fun. They always would like to teach their philsophy to the hearers and animate to think.
