Airing Out – Open Air in the Schlüter Courtyard Live Concerts, DJ Acts
Live concerts DJ sets and cool drinks. You are cordially invited to the open-air music festival DURCHLÜFTEN - free and outside. The transcultural and cross-genre live programme presents international guests and musicians from the Berlin scene on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 13 July to 5 August 2023.
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.
duendita
duendita’s music is close to classic soul, but her sound is much more fragile and brittle. The extremely slow flow leaves a lot of room for thoughtfulness, for subtle tricks and atmospheric experiments. A stripped back bass and subtle drums set the framework Duendita fills with her extraordinary voice. Puerto Rican-US artist, singer and poet duendita has been exploring the roots of her own history for years. Her lyrics and music reflect collective memories of Black communities, inherited traumas, and everyday experiences as a person of color in New York. duendita captures her feelings in disarming R&B full of emotion and deep reverberations whose energy is contagious. In her haunting song “Blue Hands”, she sings, “I wish you a long, long, long black life / that’s for the girls who disappear in the night in blue hands.”
