Monday September 30, 2024, SKRAPS solidarity kitchen: Benefit dinner supporting the Iku community in Colombia in reclaiming their ancestral land. Concert by Catsnout. Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8:30pm.

We are SKRAPS (Soup Kitchen for Radical Actions and Political Solidarity), an Amsterdam-based cooking collective with the goal of transforming rescued food into tasty vegan dishes, which are then used to support national and international initiatives.
This Voku is dedicated to the Iku people, an indigenous community from Colombia currently striving to acquire ancestral land. Their goal is to reclaim their territory, and build a space to educate young students and nurture future mamos and sagas (spiritual leaders). By doing so, they aim to preserve their ancestral wisdom and actively deconstruct colonial heritage.
In this Voku, we hope to support them in reclaiming their land, and we invite you to join us in this endeavour.

After the dinner, there will be a concert by the band Catsnout who writes about themselves: “hello, we make fun yelling heartfelt anti-folk. Welcome to our acoustic experiment in Joe’s Garage, bring your flutes please!” The show will start around 20:30. […Lees verder]

By: börek - September 18th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Theater, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 19 September 2024, Amsterdam BANGS Joe’s Garage! VoKu + Performances Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come by Joe’s Garage for a three course vegan meal on donation from 19:00, as a fundraiser for Palestine Mutual Aid. After, enjoy some banging free shows! Clowning, music, theatre! All in one!

Rango Starr will perform a synth piece, telling a story of an ancient uprising, in the form of a black bloc turned cop clown hilarity.
Radio Plantsoen feat. Madame Favorella and G.G. Axum are performing a JA! Redux.
A spoken word performance on a video and music base. Inspired by the project Ja! by Simon Vinkenhoog & Spinvis Combo
Zaza is going to do something, too:
‘My Shy Colors Raging Dreams’,
It will be soft-eery and a tiny bit absurd, wuuuhuuuuuuu

Amsterdam BANGS is a politically charged joyride taking place all over Amsterdam during September 19th to 22nd. Get ready for a BANGING theatre and performance festival, organised by anarchists, artists, and activists, to take over not just traditional venues, not just the squats, not just the streets, not just your local Albert Heijn, not just your ING help desk but even your own home. BANGS is non-hierarchically and self-organised: anyone can propose their show, wherever they want, create any workshop or performance, so long as it’s non-commercial and BANGING. Stages are kept behind gates, giving space only to certain voices. We want Amsterdam to be our stage and hear the voices of many! We wish for soft, loud, ludicrous, experimental performance art and activism to take over the city and shake it up! Have the city become our playground.

Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk)

By: börek - July 1st, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Monday July 22, 2024, Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk). Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8pm.

The benefit money will go to the costs of Woningsdag, every year while the country celebrates Koningsdag we celebrate Woningsdag because the urgency to get everyone housing is more important than Monarchy. Last Woningsdag, on April 27, 2024, a building got squatted in the city center (Gravenstraat 26-28). We still have some unpaid costs and that’s why we have a benefit.

There will be live music performance as well with Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility, the anarcho folk night from Joe’s this summer:
Lyngfarer https://lyngfarer.bandcamp.com/
“Lyngfarer is the quiet and pensive stuff that Magnus Nymo from Norway writes. It lives in the fog between medieval lore and anarchist dbeat classics but is quiet enough to be a lullaby. Magnus started performing as Lyngfarer in 2015 and has since then hung out and toured around Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and the US and UK.”
Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk): “Harmony singing and drones from members of All In Vain and Dawn Ray’d, singing songs about heartbreak and resistance.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g27Bhsxzrvc […Lees verder]

Aman molli experimental: Exploration of audiovisual interventions in post-rebetiko era

By: börek - June 12th, 2024  Filed under: Muziek

Friday 14 June 2024, Aman molli experimental: Exploration of audiovisual interventions in post-rebetiko era. From 20:00.

Tradition has a tradition in change. This is how rebetiko, a type of Greek urban folk music came about from outcasts and workers as a form of expression around 1920s. In this open workshop we will focus on how to transform tradition by including new analog and digital elements in sound, tempo, lyrics, voice, visuals and compositional style, thus bringing tradition in underexplored territories. Bring your instruments, your ideas, and come to the session with an open mind!
