LESBIAN VISIBILITY DAY – BY EQUAL POSTOST #PANDAmusic / #PANDAqueer / #PANDAtalks Fri., 26/04/2024, 16:00 16:00 Movie Uferfrauen – „Lesbisches L(i)eben in der DDR“ (2020, B. Wallbraun, original with rus sub). Six very different women report on their lives and loves in the reality of socialism, a tightrope walk between cold waters and saving shores. Discussion “Lesbians under a totalitarian regime” Women's history often remains invisible, especially in times of crisis. Unfortunately, nowadays other countries are going through a repressive process towards LGBT+ people. That is why it is so important to learn about the German experience to understand what happened and discuss how this experience could help in the situation in Russia and other countries. 19:00 Concert More info: s. link [ADMISSION]: DONATIONS https://www.facebook.com/events/3209614952668256/

AFRODREAM – GLOBAL POP FROM SENEGAL AND ITALY #PANDAglobal Thu., 18/04/2024, 20:00 Afrodream is an Afrobeat / pop band that was founded in Turin in 2018 as Abou Samb from Senegal (vocals, percussion), Eddy Gaulein Stef from Martinique (bass), Ariel Verosto from Argentina (piano, flute), Luca Vergano (guitar), Sam Baye (drums) and Simone Arlorio (saxophone) came together. The sonic ambiance is a blend of African rhythms interwoven with ethereal, enveloping melodies with a more “Western” essence, providing a canvas for Samb’s lyrics to gracefully glide upon, brimming with hope and occasionally touched by a delicate melancholy. This amalgamation is born from musicians with disparate cultural and musical backgrounds, yet who have discovered a harmonious rhythmic and melodic equilibrium amongst themselves.

HILDE #PANDAjazz Wed., 10/04/2024, 20:00 Julia Brüssel – violin Marie Daniels – voice Maria Trautmann – trombone Emily Wittbrodt – cello At times, it's a convoluted, dense "Musique Concrète," then imaginative allusions to the Renaissance or early Baroque music flash through. But circling around themselves with such rich resources is not the aim of HILDE, a band founded in 2018. More and more, song structures emerge from these sound scenarios: In this process, the music moves from a freely proliferating individuality directly into a common center. Venturing from the abstract into the lyrical, from songs and composed elements back into free improvisation, that's what matters to the four musicians.HILDE released their debut CD "Open" (Umland Records) in 2020. In March 2024, their first studio album "Tide" was also released on vinyl.

TEQUILAJAZZZ #PANDAmusic Mon., 08/04/2024, 20:00 “We look at the world with surprise, bewilderment, and sometimes with fear, – says Tequilajazzz leader Evgeny Fedorov. – It is clearly losing his mind and does not seem to notice that it is fighting and dancing on the edge of the abyss. We meanwhile just compose songs that contain our thoughts about what to do and where to run - or vice versa: how to stay in the crowd and survive, looking at civilization flying into hell.” [TICKETS]: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/wintersunmusico
