Birthday Bash: MellemRummet 9 years, Globalhagen 4 years (København)

Mellemfolkeligt Samvirkes café, MellemRummet, celebrates nine years of global connections, hot coffee & cold beer, chilling, volunteering, talking, singing and dancing – with a mighty party to show all those parties of the past who’s boss!

The event will mark the transition from supporting the platform in El Salvador to our new 2020-support project in Uganda with a musical changeover from Latin to African rhythms during the evening.

Cakes! Speeches! Rejoice!

About the performers:

Leo PaLayeng (Uganda)
Pioneering performer and producer Leo Palayeng combines folk instruments from the Acholi culture of Northern Uganda such as the adungu (African harp) and nanga (zither) with electronic compositions. The results are mesmerizing and his music have brought him around the world and led to collaborations with Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz etc.) on the Africa Express project.

DJ Mambe (Colombia)
Is known from Mambe & Danochilango: the duo who created the genre global bass and have proclaimed themselves sonic travellers and citizens of the global village. All borders will be crossed, boundaries broken and genres redefined when Mambe turns up the volume in a universal explosion of rhythm!
With performances at this year’s Roskilde and WOMEX festivals, Mambe is ready to get the floor shaking at our Birthday Bash.

Mo (Mexico)
Mo aka Emiliano Motta is a composer, producer and instrumentalist. He produces a wide variety of music, from original soundtracks for movies to deep afro house, roots reggae, hip hop, and dub, creating a blend of sounds and styles that invokes a tribal/root connection.
