Yoràn Vroom: Groove Beest
Drummer Yoràn Vroom returns to Amsterdam-Zuidoost, where it all began for him. In the family concert Groove Beest, he teams up with MC Cheyenne Toney and a powerhouse band to dive into a world of rhythm, dance, and music rooted in his Caribbean heritage. An explosive and interactive concert where standing still is no option. For all ages.
Chatlein i su Zumbi
Percussionist Vernon Chatlein explored the Zikinza sound archive, tracing a path through the rich Afro-Curaçaoan musical history. Inspired by the mysterious style Muzik di Zumbi, he composes new music for his group Chatlein i su Zumbi. With this band, he blends jazz and Latin with Antillean rhythms to create something vibrant and deeply rooted.
Nausyqa
Five young, international super talents united in a quintet: NAUSYQA. These musical storytellers from Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands bring a fresh buzz to the Dutch jazz scene. Their second album PUNQ takes you on a sound journey. Each composition feels like a musical voyage: immersive, intense, and remarkably cohesive.
BNNYHUNNA
BNNYHUNNA (Benjamin Ankomah) grew up in Amsterdam-Zuidoost and discovered his deep passion for music at an early age. In church, he taught himself piano, drums, and guitar, and developed his gift for composition and production. He has since collaborated with artists like Akwasi and José James, and released his acclaimed debut album Echoes Of Prayers in 2023. His music moves between West African afrobeat, melodic hip-hop, and London-style funk jazz, enhanced by poetry, video, and visual art.
