Ehrenfeld XL Special: Bayamo Fusion

Afro House

With Bayamo Fusion, an international force is moving into Venloer Straße: a combination of Afro House, Afro Tech and Amapiano that unites the sound of Africa with modern club culture. The series stands for musical diversity, pulsating rhythms and a collective that moves between Cologne, Europe and the African continent.

As part of Ehrenfeld XL, Stadtgarten and Jaki are opening their doors together for a very special showcase. Two guests from South Africa await you on the main floor: Atmos Blaq and Dr. Feel bring the energy of the scene from Johannesburg and Soweto directly to Cologne - a rare opportunity to experience their deep Afro-house and Afro-tech sounds live. Support will come from Bayamo residents Alvaro J and Danima, who will round off the floor perfectly with their fine sense of melodies and grooves.

At the same time, you can immerse yourself in the world of Amapiano at the Jaki Club - the genre that originated in South Africa and is currently conquering international dancefloors. With Rebelle (NL), Freegah and TipTack, the cellar becomes a vibrating room full of warm bass, rolling percussion and hypnotic keys.
Together, Stadtgarten and Jaki create a musical field of tension between two related but independent worlds of sound: Afro House above, Amapiano below - and a seamless connection in between, which is the spirit of Bayamo Fusion.
