Makatumbe regularly goes on treasure hunts for musical gems. The traditional-sounding melodies found or invented are packaged into modern dance grooves and peppered with many of our own sound ideas. The unusual line-up makes you sit up and take notice: vocal acrobatics à la beatbox, raggamuffin and overtone singing meet accordion and clarinet, drums and bass form the driving and grooving basic structure. On stage the band presents a very wide spectrum: from cumbia, reggae (sound) and hip-hop to Balkanesque and oriental to techno. What unites the band's sound is the explosive energy of the musicians. No dance stays still. At the finale of the creole festival 2017, Makatumbe won both the award for outstanding musical diversity and the audience award with his colorful palette and sparkling enthusiasm.

"Dein Begleiter", das elfte Studioalbum von Laith Al-Deen, erscheint am 19. April 2024, passend zu seiner Frühjahrstour.
Laith bezeichnet es als "eine moderne Produktion. Ich habe in meiner Band fast ausschließlich Leute an Bord, die ich seit Beginn meiner Karriere kenne. Einige Texte sind äußerst autobiographisch. Andere wiederum stecken voller Anekdoten von Freunden und Menschen, mit denen ich Songs schreibe, die sowohl erlebt als auch fiktiv sind."
Mit dem neuen Werk besingt die charismatische Größe des Deutsch-Pops mit der einzigartigen Soul-Stimme das Leben in all seinen Facetten. Die Albumankündigung wird von der Videopremiere zu Laiths zweiter Single "Dein Begleiter" begleitet und bietet einen exklusiven Einblick hinter die Kulissen.

in 2019, British music icon Bonnie Tyler returns to the spotlight with her acclaimed studio album "Between The Earth And The Stars" and her tour of the same name.

The cinema of the scenes as told from the heart and spirit of the omniscient narrator shines through the awe-inspiring oeuvre of Glenn Donaldson's canonical titan that is The Reds, Pinks and Purples. The storied and esoteric histories of every underserved underdog becomes immortalized in records and poignantly penned paeans that evoke the eras and underachievers that became synonymous with their own respective corresponding localized micro-movements.

“El realismo mágico fue un movimiento artístico que pretendía profundizar en la realidad a través de lo mágico que hay en ella. Hoy el realismo mágico vuelve como una visión subjetiva del mundo. Y aunque la realidad no nos deja espacio para la magia, nosotros la encontraremos.” ‘Realismo mágico’ es el quinto álbum de estudio de Carlos Sadness; es un disco que conecta con la sensibilidad, la bondad y la ternura de la realidad y que se aferra a esas emociones como acto de rebeldía. Compuesto de 12 temas, cuenta con las colaboraciones de Carla Morrison, Ximena Sariñana y Melissa Robles, que acompañan el sonido internacional del artista indie. ‘Realismo mágico’ está escrito por el propio Carlos Sadness y coproducido junto a Ariel y Migz, logrando un sello único dentro del indie que hará vibrar en festivales de España y Latinoamérica.

The creative process helped me to understand what was going on with myself,” TINI tells Apple Music. “Working in the recording studio also contributed to the healing.” During most of 2023, the Buenos Aires star came to terms with one of the toughest battles a person can go through: an inner conflict. “I had become like a cup that’s filled with wounds, and my father’s problems—a serious medical condition that landed him in intensive care—was the shock that overflowed the cup. I finally understood what my depression and anxiety were all about, the fears and all the questions that could not be answered.”
