Sängerin Charlotte Colace
For the sixth time now, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Schlüterhof courtyard of Berlin’s Humboldt Forum into a vibrant open-air stage for global music, cultural dialogue, and shared experience. From 9 July to 1 August 2026, across four summer weekends, the festival presents 24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world. Each evening features two concerts followed by a DJ set, creating twelve nights of musical discovery, movement, and encounter in the heart of Berlin — once again with free entry for all.
Charlotte Colace is an independent Berlin-based soul artist whose French-Cuban roots shape a sound bridging vintage soul warmth with modern grooves and heartfelt storytelling. Her powerful stage presence quickly caught attention in Berlin’s live scene, earning her the Listen to Berlin Artist Award 2025 even before releasing music on streaming platforms. After sharing stages with Omah Lay and Nick Hakim and lending her voice to projects such as Sorvina, Stella & the Longos, and the BiPoC choir A Song For You, she now steps into her own spotlight with a four-piece live band. Her debut EP No Way But Through (March 2026), co-produced with Tremendous Aron, traces a soulful journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. Each experience shaped her voice and artistic vision.
