European festival of music with four bands in four languages
Details
From 6 pm: Admission, 6.30 pm Welcome from EUNIC Frankfurt
From approximately 6:35 p.m .: Musical storytelling from Italy with Peppe Voltarelli . Born in Cosenza in 1969, the singer, actor, and writer has been the leader of the cult band "Il parto delle nuvole pesanti" since 1990, with whom he founded a new kind of Italian folk music. As a solo artist, he has also released seven studio albums, four soundtracks, and two concert albums. Peppe Voltarelli is invited by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Cologne .
From approximately 7:40 p.m.: Electronic off-pop from Berlin with Naomi Westlake and band . Their songs interweave melancholic pop lyrics with tech house, hyper-pop, and reggaeton beats, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the after-night clubbing. In short: feel the bass in your veins while simultaneously questioning the world. Naomi Westlake and band have been invited by the Goethe-Institut Frankfurt .
From approximately 8:50 p.m., Maurice! from the Grenoble region blends festive French chanson with synthesized sounds. The three brothers, Philip, Guillaume, and Chuck, play guitar, double bass, and accordion, combining chanson with hip-hop, rock, and electronic music. Their lyrics tell honest and witty stories about life, and their songs alternate between dance-like energy and tenderness. Maurice! is invited by the Institut français Frankfurt / IFRA-SHS .
From approximately 10 p.m.: Pinches Perros , a band presenting a unique blend of Mexican music, blues, country, boleros, and South American rhythms with a pop-rock perspective. Their music, inspired by real-life experiences, reflects cultural diversity, the challenges of migration, and, of course, love. Pinches Perros is invited by the Instituto Cervantes Frankfurt .
The four concerts in four languages will take place in the main hall of the Instituto Cervantes Frankfurt, but European delicacies, including Spanish and French specialties, will be served in the beautiful garden. This year, "Chez Vivi" will once again offer delicious Breton galettes and sweet crêpes. Bon appétit!
