Reinis Young is a traveling guitar player from Riga, Latvia who has played all around Europe for years sharing his exceptional guitar skills and original songs using different kinds of guitar playing techniques – including tapping, percussive, and finger-picking. Reinis has traveled a lot. He started to compose his own solo music when he was busking on a street while he was hitchhiking all around Europe and Asia. Recently he has started to play more official concerts instead of busking – so far he has performed in Europe, as well as in New Zealand and Cyprus. His music is not so far from The Flamenco Thief, that is no surprise they are touring together. Reinis Young has released four solo albums – Plika ģitāra (2013), Draugu orķestris (2015), Gaišs (2016) and Tumšs (2017). The last album was released together with his band Reinis Young Trio.

“Black men loving Black men is the revolutionary act”
Marlon Riggs’ essay film Tongues Untied gives voice to communities of black gay men, presenting their cultures and perspectives on the world as they confront racism, homophobia and marginalization. It broke new artistic ground by mixing poetry (by Essex Hemphill and other artists), music, performance and Riggs’ autobiographical revelations. The film was embraced by black gay audiences for its authentic representation of style, and culture, as well its fierce response to oppression. It opened up opportunities for dialogue among and across communities. […Lees verder]

Benefit for the short film “Dit Is Voor Niemand Leuk” by Martijn Lenten

Dit_Is_Voor_Niemand_Leuk_Martijn_LentenMonday May 1st 2017, Benefit for the short film “Dit Is Voor Niemand Leuk” by Martijn Lenten. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

Is het nog fictie als je je eigen leven naspeelt? Dit is een experimentele kruising tussen docu en fictie over onuitstaanbare Amsterdamse jongeren.
“Deze film gaat over een groepje jonge creatievelingen in Amsterdam, gebaseerd op mijn vrienden en misschien ook wel op die van jou. Het is in feite een verzameling van verhalen, personages en sociale eigenaardigheden. Ik merk dat veel mensen om mij heen zo hyper-zelfbewust zijn dat ze nauwelijks meer oprecht kunnen zijn. Elke interactie gaat verschuild achter talloze lagen ironie, sarcasme en grappen. Wat is echt, wat is nep? Dit is iets wat ik tegelijkertijd fascinerend, grappig, maar soms ook ontzettend frustrerend en vermoeiend vind. Het zorgt voor absurde situaties en gesprekken, die soms ontzettend ver gaan als je niet alle lagen begrijpt waaronder de informatie geschuild gaat.”
