M:Soundtrack + African Beats & Pieces prsts: Lollise (NYC / Botswana) + Adelle Nqeto (Bln/ South Africa) + DJ Mixanthrope @ Schokokaden 23.07.25
Thrilled to welcome Lollise (NYC/Botswana) to the Schokoladen stage! Her vibrant energy, infectious beats, and radiant presence promise an unforgettable night—get ready to smile, move, and dance! Opening the evening is the brilliant Adelle Nqeto, a Berlin-based South African artist whose soulful voice and unique take on alternative African folk left our Café Chocolat audience spellbound. I am so excited to have her back—she’s truly one of a kind, and we can’t wait for you to experience her magic.
The night is co-curated by M:Soundtrack and African Beats & Pieces, a Berlin event series dedicated since 2017 to music made in Africa and throughout its diaspora. To top it all off, DJ Mixanthrope will be behind the decks with an eclectic mix of rhythms and grooves to keep the energy flowing all night long.
Come early, stay late—this one’s going to be something special!
Lollise is a musician, visual artist and fashion designer from Botswana, currently living in NYC. Using sound, color and movement, Lollise tells stories of real and imagined worlds, multidimensional and nuanced, historical and futuristic. She performs with a potent energy and commitment to the music, in body and in spirit. Lollise creates hybrid songs for this moment, taking influence from the music she grew up with – Setswana and Kalanga folk songs, '80s and�'90s South African electronic bubblegum and kwaito, Congolese soukous and Zimbabwean sungura – and the music she has been exposed to in New York, including Afrobeat, new wave, and art-pop.
Adelle Nqeto's music stems from the gaze of an introverted observer with a passion for melody and stories. Rooted in South African folk and exploring Jazz, Indie and Pop sensibilities, the Berlin-based musician’s work expresses the beauty and complexity in our human reality. Quite fittingly, her music style has been labelled as “Alternative African Folk”.
African Beats & Pieces is a regular event series in Berlin dedicated since 2017 to the music made in Africa and throughout its diaspora. DJ mixes celebrating music from Africa & its diaspora beyond the mainstream since 2017. Curated by Boris Paillard/ DJ Mixanthrope -- @african_beats_and_pieces
