Pongo

Tolhuistuin, Saturday, November 28 at 08:30 PM GMT+1

Pongo is een Angolese zangeres, songwriter en performer, die wordt gezien als een van de meest kenmerkende stemmen van de nieuwe generatie in de wereldwijde hedendaagse muziek. Ze is geboren in Luanda en woont sinds haar achtste in Lissabon; haar werk weerspiegelt een sterke band met identiteit, cultuur en veerkracht.

Op haar zestiende verwierf ze internationale bekendheid met “Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)”. Tegenwoordig is ze een toonaangevende Afro-fusionartiest, bekend om haar energieke optredens in heel Europa en haar opvallende optreden bij COLORSxSTUDIOS.

Als winnaar van de Music Moves Europe Talent Award (2020) en genomineerd voor de Kora Awards 2024, combineert ze kuduro, afrobeats en elektronische muziek tot een onderscheidend hedendaags geluid. Met Sakidila, Pongo Baddie en “Kuzola” (te horen in FIFA 23) blijft ze wereldwijd groeien.

Ze stond vorig jaar in oktober al een keer in Paradiso tijdens Amsterdam Dance Event en keert dit jaar terug in de Tolhuistuin met onder andere haar nieuwe single “Banana”, waarin ze Afrobeats combineert met een warme, groovende vibe en een met Patois doordrenkte flow.

Vintage Voudou Dance Night ♫ Listening session in the Dark
& Tropical Dance Party
El Javier B & Edo Bouman
Saturday 30.05.2026 @ Mezrab

Bewitching, raw & rootsy vintage dance music from around the globe, 100% vinyl!
★
Vintage Voudou celebrates dance music from every corner of the globe, showcasing tunes deeply rooted in local traditions — music that nourishes the soul, captivates the ears and is irresistible to dance to. With selections ranging from Ghanaian Highlife to Tamil film music, Colombian cumbia, Greek tsifteteli, and Surinamese kaseko and beyond, Edo Bouman tirelessly seeks out the most infectious dance tracks from the golden age of vinyl, spanning the 1950s to the 1980s, creating a vivid tapestry of global music history, rediscovering rhythms that shaped dance floors and cultural traditions across the world.

For over 15 years, Vintage Voudou has been Amsterdam’s leading specialist in vintage tropical music, organizing parties, spinning records, and selling rare vinyl. The bimonthly Vintage Voudou party kicks off with a listening session before setting the dance floor on fire with the warm-blooded, analog sounds of vintage music with human-made rhythms. Each edition we invite top DJs/ Collectors in the field to share their music and to give us an introduction into the music they love in the listening session.
All music played from original, often exceedingly rare, vinyl and sometimes shellack!
★
This edition’s listening session is dedicated to vintage Puerto Rican music, home of the infectious styles Plena and Bomba and the rootsy Jibaro, selected by El Javier_B
★
GUEST: El Javier_B
Born and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela—a region geographically and culturally close to Colombia—El Javier_B grew up surrounded by Afro-Colombian rhythms, salsa, and Caribbean sounds. His signature sound creates a sonic bridge between deep-rooted heritage and vintage experimentation, mixing Vintage Tropical & Cumbia: Classic Afro-Latin grooves, and traditional percussion, Latin Funk & Psychedelia: Venezuelan folklore through a psychedelic lens, and Vintage afro grooves, a deep-digging selection of world wide Afro (inspired) grooves.

Loveth Besamoh + I Love You Honey Bunny

Cinetol, Sunday, November 8 at 07:30 PM GMT+1

Loveth Besamoh

‍
De producer en songwriter Loveth Besamoh heeft zijn wortels in Kameroen, waar hij zijn ritmische basis ontwikkelde door percussie te spelen in de kerk en op de kostschool. Momenteel is hij gevestigd in de alternatieve scene van Rotterdam, waar hij elementen van new wave, krautpunk, electronica, shoegaze, afro rock, jazz, postpunk en psychedelica combineert met percussieve invloeden uit zijn jeugd.

I Love You Honey Bunny

‍

De band I Love You Honey Bunny uit Praag dankt zijn naam aan een van de meest iconische diner-overvallen uit de filmgeschiedenis en weet sindsdien overal in Europa de aandacht te trekken met diezelfde filmische en onvoorspelbare energie. De groep, bestaande uit vier vrienden groeide uit van lokale indie-favorieten tot een van de meest intrigerende muzikale exportproducten van Centraal-Europa. Met hun speelse podiumpresentatie en gedurfde muzikale experimenten brengen ze een kenmerkende mix van messcherpe gitaren, agressieve synths en meeslepende alt-pop die je recht in de borst raakt.

‍

Laat je echter niet misleiden door hun aanstekelijke, dansbare sound, want onder de oppervlakte schuilt een sterke, introspectieve kern. Terwijl het publiek losgaat op de dansvloer, verkent de band thema’s als mentale gezondheid, maatschappelijke uitputting, de chaotische schoonheid van het universum en persoonlijke groei. Live vertaalt zich dat in een intense totaalervaring: met meer dan 500 optredens – waaronder shows op Sziget, Eurosonic en Envol et Macadam – weet de band een diepe, bijna cathartische connectie met het publiek te creëren, waarbij elke show voelt als een gedeelde uitlaatklep voor energie en oprechtheid.

The Fifth Wall

Pakhuis de Zwijger, Wednesday, May 20 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

Wat gebeurt er wanneer muziek, film en persoonlijke groei samenkomen? Tijdens deze avond duiken we in The Fifth Wall: een filmische EP van creative en producer ROOM996 (Meshach Boye). The Fifth Wall verkent het spanningsveld tussen dromen en realiteit. Hoe doorbreek je de grenzen van je huidige werkelijkheid? En hoe blijf je bewegen richting je ambities, ondanks obstakels die je onderweg tegenkomt, zeker als jonge maker uit de Bijlmer? In dit multidisciplinaire project worden deze vragen vertaald naar een audiovisuele ervaring waarin muziek en beeld naadloos in elkaar overvloeien. Na een eerdere besloten première bij OSCAM wordt de filmische EP nu voor het eerst publiekelijk vertoond in een nieuwe setting. De screening nodigt bezoekers uit om niet alleen te kijken en luisteren, maar om echt onderdeel te worden van de wereld van ROOM996, een mentale ruimte waarin creativiteit centraal staat.

Na de vertoning volgt een verdiepend panelgesprek met onder andere director Ian Bodo Del Angel, MC Lost en de maker ROOM996. Samen gaan zij in op het creatieve proces achter het project en delen zij concrete inzichten en tools die helpen bij het verleggen van persoonlijke en artistieke grenzen. Een avond over verbeelding, doorzettingsvermogen en het creëren van je eigen ruimte.

Meshach Boye, oftwel ROOM996 is een multidisciplinaire artiest die werkt op het snijvlak van muziek, beeld en beleving. Onder de naam ROOM996produceert hij muziek en werkt hij samen met opkomende artiesten binnen genres als hiphop, soul, R&B, afro en drill, vaak met een experimentele insteek. Voor hem is muziek zelden het eindpunt, maar het begin van bredere verhalen die zich vertalen naar visuele en ruimtelijke ervaringen. Als startende creative director en conceptontwikkelaar initieert en begeleidt hij projecten van idee tot ervaring, waarbij hij de essentie bewaakt en zorgt dat alles inhoudelijk en esthetisch klopt.

Comunidad Y Perreo

Felix Meritis, Friday, June 19 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

Bad Bunny pre-concert gathering & party

In anticipation of Bad Bunny’s upcoming visit to The Netherlands for his world tour, we come together at Felix Meritis to celebrate everything his music moves. From identity, to culture, resistance, and belonging, Bunny’s music echoes far beyond the dancefloor. Whether or not you secured your concert tickets, you are invited to join us for an evening in celebration of Latin culture through music, performance, spoken word, film and – of course – a good perreo to end the night.

Expect a gathering where flavour, comunidad and music comes together, all rooted in the lived experiences of the Latin diaspora. Creatives from different disciplines will share how Bad Bunny’s music has influenced their own practices, shaping not only their artistic practice but also their communities. Their perspectives highlight the ways in which his cultural impact extends far beyond music, into questions of visibility, representation, and collective memory.

Special price list

€10 | Early Bird Ticket: For those who act quick!

€23,00 | Duo Ticket: For those who will join us with a friend, group, familymember, colleague or a special boo.

Line-up

Karim Flores Afifi

For this weeks #Aarollreview, we step into the world of Karim Flores Afifi – DJ, presenter, creative consultant, and someone whose work exists at the intersection of culture, music, and collective experience. Egyptian and Dominican by heritage, he uses curiosity and connection as his driving force, shaping conversations that resonate beyond the surface.

Karim’s career moves through creative roles at Daily Paper and Complex—where he led on creative direction—before landing as event manager at Soho House Amsterdam. Beyond that, Karim channels his energy into music and storytelling—whether through his editorial contributions at @whatsculture or behind the decks as @djbabachulo. The name itself is a nod to his roots—’Baba’ paying homage to his Egyptian side, ‘Chulo’ to Dominican slang. Through his sets, he blends the sounds of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, turning each performance into a moment of both self-exploration and expression.

Juliana Martina

Born and raised in Curaçao with Colombian roots, Juliana Martina creates music shaped by the cultures and sounds she grew up with. Her work moves between the Caribbean and Latin America, inspired by questions of identity, belonging, and home — what feels familiar, and what home can sound like.

She graduated cum laude from Codarts Rotterdam, where she studied Latin American and Caribbean music. Since then, Juliana has continued to explore and honor her background through music, writing in both Spanish and Papiamentu.

Over the years, she has performed at venues and festivals across the Netherlands, including Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Amersfoort Jazz Festival, and Dias Latinos. She has collaborated with artists such as Calefax, Milouska Meulens, Siegfried Hart, and Jean Jacques Rojer, all connected through a shared Caribbean heritage that continues to inspire and connect her work.

Glenpherd Martinus
Glenpherd Martinus is an interdisciplinary researcher working across the humanities and social sciences. During our evening Glenpherd will present a performance lecture on the influence of Bad Bunny within the diaspora. His research often operates at the intersection of art, culture, ecology, and identity. He has a deep interest in postcolonial studies, anthropology, sociology, visual culture, archival practices, and Caribbean literature.

Daniela Montoya Jerez
Daniela Montoya Jerez is a born and raised Colombian poet, spoken word artist and teacher who has lived in the Netherlands for almost 8 years. Her texts and performances reflect on her deep connection with life, stories and words, and explore the nuances of identity and emotional duality in her double life between Colombia and the Netherlands.

Jorge Suarez

Jorge Suarez is a dance teacher, performer & choreographer. Born in Cali, internationally known as the Capital of Salsa, Jorge Suarez grew up surrounded by music, rhythm, and dance. His first connection to movement began in early childhood, sitting on his mother’s lap while she sang and guided his hands and body to the music — a very common and deeply rooted tradition in Colombia and throughout Latin America.

For more than 30 years, Jorge Suarez has dedicated his life to teaching, performing, and choreographing Latin and Afro-Latin dance traditions. Through his classes, performances, and cultural projects, he continues to share the joy, energy, and deep cultural roots of salsa and Latin dance — a passion that remains the greatest love of his life.

De Nieuwe Anita, Friday, June 5 at 09:00 PM GMT+2

Doors: 20.00. Tickets: presale 10, door 12

George & the Rams
Mixt 70’s vibes in een explosief, modern jasje. Van de disco van Chic tot de yacht rock van Steely Dan, met een vleugje Al Green. Dansbaar en zonnig, met diepe teksten voor wie wil. Hun debuut-EP belandde op Soul ‘n the City en New Music Friday. De volgende EP tilt hun sound naar een nieuw niveau: vol groove, energie en catchy songs!

Johnny & the Spacemachine
Johnny & the Spacemachine mixt afro-groove, funk en rock ‘n roll tot een muzikale ruimtereis. Funky basloopjes, lekkere grooves, spetterende blazers en ludieke teksten over onze avonturen als band, flitsbezorgers, overconsumptie, escapisme in de club en de grens tussen realiteit en waanzin. Live nemen we het publiek mee in onze energie: van thematische luisterliedjes tot een uitbundig dansfeest. In het najaar van 2023 was Johnny & the Spacemachine finalist van de Amsterdamse Popprijs. Eerder speelden ze op verschillende podia en festivals in Amsterdam en omstreken: Paradiso, de Melkweg, Cinetol, Nobel Leiden, Mezrab, Singelfestival, Bredewegfestival, Rollende Keukens, De Nieuwe Anita, en Over de Top festival. In de zomers van 2022, 2023, 2024 en 2025 toerde de band door Europa en speelde ze op straat, in muziekcafés, en op lokale festivals. In december 2025 bracht de band een nieuwe EP uit: Mad Views White Lines.

DJ ED ROCK
Muzikale duizendpoot doet lekker wat ie zelf wel. En wij natuurlijk. En dan de hele avond! Dansen dus.

murmur, Saturday, June 20 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

for the evening rik tan, gia nunez and aram mukanay come together with their selections.
Talking about eclectic DJs, Rik Tan stands out as a selector with a strong focus on global sounds within a club context. His sets move effortlessly between Cape Verdean rhythms, Brazilian influences, Afro, Latin, and electronic dance music, creating a distinctive style built on groove and rhythm.
As a resident at Tempo Não Para, a platform celebrating music from different cultures, Rik’s approach is rooted in connection rather than genre boundaries. He blends warm percussion, danceable electronics, and organic rhythms into cohesive, flowing journeys on the dancefloor.
His selections feel playful yet intentional, always leaving room for surprise without losing momentum. Rik Tan is known for his open musical vision and his ability to bring different worlds together in a single set.
For the past 16 years, Giu Nunez has been shaping a distinctive sound through deep vinyl digging and an eclectic approach to mixing genres. Starting her career at 18, her curiosity and versatility quickly made her a standout name in Brazil’s electronic scene and beyond, including a headline appearance at Amsterdam Dance Event.
Now based between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, she is part of the Domply collective, exploring experimental and electronic music through parties and radio shows worldwide.
Amsterdam-based Aram Mukanay brings the groove wherever he goes. His sound dives deep into early ’80s boogie, dubby disco, and soulful house. Whether it’s a dusty boogie cut or a dreamy house track, one thing ties it all together: the funk. Expect slick basslines, disco divas, and percussive rhythms. Always smooth, always moving.

“An unforgettable musical journey along the Silk Road” – Parool

We are happy to welcome back the amazing musicians of Afro Anatolian Tales!
Afro Anatolian Tales weaves ancient Silk Road songs, rhythms, and modern
sound into a musical bridge between East and West, a mesmerizing journey
where tradition transforms into timeless innovation.

Afro Anatolian Tales is a boundary-crossing music project founded by Dutch-
Turkish percussionist Sjahin During. The first album, Afro Anatolian Tales, was
released in 2008 by the renowned Turkish label Double Moon. It garnered
international recognition and was included in the Top 5 of music journalist
Charlie Gillett’s (BBC) compilation. The album also received a 5-star review in
Songlines Magazine, which described it as “a fascinating and contemplative
musical journey.”

Since then, the project has evolved through collaborations with a wide range
of artists, each contributing to its distinctive and evolving sound. Drawing
inspiration from the musical traditions of Anatolia, Iran, India, and other Silk
Road cultures, Afro Anatolian Tales fuses ancient rhythmic and melodic
elements with contemporary electronics and improvisation.

Based in Amsterdam and led by its core quartet, the ensemble crafts “a
musical bridge of sounds between the Orient and Occident,” exploring shifting
formations and immersive soundscapes. Their music transcends genre
boundaries, weaving Eastern and Western influences into a vibrant, cinematic
experience.
