Florence Adooni

Over four weekends, the stage will pulse with music from across the globe: from the raw energy of Mexican Cumbia-punk to the hypnotic groove of Kenyan Dodo Blues, from the electrifying syncopations of Congolese Soukous to the powerful messages of Afro-futuristic big bands. Caribbean-infused Japanese folk, soulful jazz, hip hop, and the joy and resilience of Frafra-gospel round off  this celebration of sound— borderless, multi-perspective, and irresistably danceable!

Florence Adooni (Ghana)

The Ghanaian Fra Fra sensation Florence Adooni is back at DURCHLÜFTEN and delivers a vibrant fusion of Kumasi highlife, spiritual jazz, and infectious rhythms on her highly anticipated international debut, A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity). Backed by an eight-piece ensemble of top highlife musicians from Kumasi and produced by longtime collaborator Max Weissenfeldt (Philophon Records), the album radiates joy, energy, and masterful musicianship.

Spanning seven tracks, A.O.E.I.U. seamlessly blends intricate guitar melodies, syncopated grooves, horn fanfares, and rich vocal harmonies. From the shimmering highlife of "Mam Pe’ela Su’ure“ to the dancefloor-ready "Vocalize My Luv“, the spiritual jazz explorations of the title track, and the Ethiopian-inspired "Otoma Da Naba“, the album is a dynamic journey through Florence’s signature sound – uplifting, powerful, and deeply rooted in tradition.
