"Hard-hittin' Afrobeat with a heavy dose of Soul!"



Aftershow-Party:

DJ Matatu presents BLACK ATLANTIC BEATZ
[Afrobeat, Raw Soul, Deep Funk & Afro-Latin Soundz]



admission: 10 €



The time has come for Berlin to witness its own Afrobeat sensation! PAX NICHOLAS & THE RIDIMTAKSI is a band of 12 musicians from Africa, Latin America & Berlin who share the love for heavy and funky music. Lead by experienced showman, singer and percussionist Pax Nicholas from Ghana, who was part of Fela Kuti´s Africa 70 from 1971 to 1978, they are out there to make you happy with hard-hittin' AFROBEAT with a heavy dose of SOUL. In 2010, they left an impressed audience when they opened the show for Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings at Huxley´s, Berlin. Be it original Fela Kuti songs or Pax´ own Soul, Funk and Highlife influenced compositions, be it classic or modern: when the Ridimtaksi is on the move you better be ready, these guys will make you move your feet and shake your hips!
After the show, DJ Matatu will take the audience on a transatlantic trip to funky soundz from Africa & Afro-America. All-night dancing pleasure guaranteed!
GET ON BOARD!
