Brushy One String mit Gitarre
Let yourself be carried away by our musical parcours, which leads from Accra to Bogotá, from Belgrade to Bangkok, from Harare to Istanbul and back again to the dancefloor sounds of Berlin nightlife. On twelve summer evenings, DURCHLÜFTEN creates a space to hear and see bands that span wide musical arcs and tell diverse stories - impressive, multi-perspective and extremely danceable. Framed by the baroque façades of the Schlüterhof, the DURCHLÜFTEN festival invites music lovers of all ages, Berlin visitors and Berlin night owls to experience extraordinary music.
Curated by Melissa Perales, the programme aims to surprise with the unheard and the familiar, with sounds and rhythms that move across borders and continents.
Brushy One String’s guitar has only one string, but the songs he creates with that one string are extraordinary. The son of Jamaican soul singer Freddy McKay, who died at an early age, and singer Beverly Foster, who toured as a backup singer with Tina Turner among others, Brushy was surrounded by music from an early age but struggeled with his own style for a long time. Until one night Brushy had a vision, a dream in which he was told to play a one-string guitar. His companions laughed at him, but Brushy recalls: “The next day I took a big, wide hat and sunglasses, went to the market and started singing.” And so began a career that took him halfway around the globe.
