Musicians’ biographies
Dino Brandão
Swiss-Angolan musician mixing baroque sounds, old percussion, synths and drum machines. His music reflects multiple identities and creates a colorful, energetic style. On stage, he transforms contrasts into powerful performances.
OY
Berlin duo with Ghanaian and Swiss roots (Joy Frempong and Melodydreamer) blending electronica, afrobeat and avant-pop into a unique sound. Their live shows are vibrant, boundary-breaking and highly engaging.
Mary Gehnyei
Rome-based DJ and multidisciplinary artist of Liberian descent.
Passionate about vinyl, she combine energy with electronic sounds that somehow resonated with the essence of her roots. Her DJ sets break stereotypes and celebrate diversity on the dance floor.
