Marking the Berlin debut of her new solo, this concert by self-taught bass player Farida Amadou mixes electronic sounds with acoustic percussion and drone. Composing live with her electronic bass, this new performance will evolve in direct response to audience reactions.

For the remainder of the evening, Amadou will be joined by New York-based trumpeter, composer, and DJ Aquiles Navarro. Amadou and Navarro met while performing with Moor Mother, touring Jazz Codes, and continued to improvise and record together in New York over the summer of 2023. This will be the duo’s first live concert, where they will improvise with an experimental blend of genres spanning blues, noise, and jazz.

With support by Wallonie-Bruxelles International.
