By: börek - December 10th, 2024  Filed under: Muziek

Saturday 14 December 2024, Aman molli: Concert of rebetiko from Piraeus and Smyrna (Eirini Zogali, Yvonne Melissa, Panos Tsamouras). The doors will open at 8pm, and music will start at 9 pm.

Three talented young musicians, Eirini Zogali, Yvonne Melissa and Panos Tsamouras, present a repertoire of rebetiko from Piraeus and Smyrna. Favorite compositions from the beginning of the 20th century will be performed.
Eirini Zogali was born in 1997 in Corinth, Greece. Her relationship with music started at the age of 7 with the classical guitar. This first contact led her to audition for the music school of her hometown, in which she graduated in 2015 with a new instrument in hand, the bouzouki.
In 2019, when starting a semester as an exchange student in the Codarts Conservatoire in Rotterdam, Eirini also joined Aman Molli events, performing numerous times at Joe’s Garage and later giving Rebetiko workshops. Since September 2024 based in Athens, Eirini is back for a few dates in Brussels, Paris, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Amsterdam.

Eirini Zogali: bouzouki, oud, voice
Yvonne Melissa: violin, voice
Panos Tsamouras: guitar, voice

Solidarity voku for our comrades in Peru fighting against mining companies

By: börek - December 10th, 2024  Filed under: Volkseten/Voku

Thursday December 12, 2024, Solidarity voku for our comrades in Peru fighting against mining companies. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Gira Holanda warmly invites you to this benefit voku. We will share this meal in solidarity with our comrades from Perú, in the region of Cajamarca, who are and have been resisting for years against the violence of mining companies, such as Goldcorp and Newmont. These corporations seek to profit from the land and water of local communities, extracting gold and other minerals from the Andean mountains, leaving behind holes on the earth, desertified soil, and polluted water and wind.
With this dinner we aim to provide a little financial help to our comrades who are resisting there, and who have had to flee to Europe to protect themselves, and to create a little moment of awareness of the violence that mining involves. Mining for our technologies and our luxury in the “Global North”.

¡AGUA SÍ, ORO NO!
WATER YES, GOLD NOT!. […Lees verder]

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Ecstasy of Angels (Kōji Wakamatsu, 1972)

By: börek - December 2nd, 2024  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday December 8, 2024, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Ecstasy of Angels * 1972 * (天使の恍惚, Tenshi no kōkotsu) * Directed by Kōji Wakamatsu * 89 minutes * In Japanese with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00 * intro & film start at 20:30.

Japanese director Kōji Wakamatsu was a wild cat, and was the primary director that fused together radical politics along with transgressive sexuality. He had made a link between these two things that was, in a way, revolutionary. He didn’t believe in breaking down barriers only on a single issue or theme, but through an explosion of freedom he sought to destabilize Japan’s colonized, regulated, conservative society that was imposed by America after World War II.

These were wild days in Japan, with student protests, occupations, psychedelic music and a lot of experimentation. This movie is a byproduct of that time, a snapshot of his zeitgeist, a call for freedom. It is a pink political flick, meaning it’s politically charged. The story is about a group of left-wing revolutionaries who break into a US military Depot to steal weapons and ammunition. As they make their getaway they come into a conflict with soldiers, leaving some Americans dead. The movie takes off from there.

Right around the time when Kōji Wakamatsu made this movie, he went to the Palestinian territories and filmed a radical left-wing group training there, he was instantly put on a blacklist by three major organizations – the Japanese government, Interpol, and the American government. In fact, he was banned from entering the United States for the rest of his life.

Wakamatsu is a great example of guerilla filmmaking, knocking out radical, imaginative films, and all budgets. In fact, Wakamatsu said the reason he became a film director in the first place was because “in movies, you can kill as many police officers as you want and not get caught.”

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net

We’ll be sitting down to chat with a scholar of nationalism about not only the silly aspects of ridiculous holidays and made-up cuisine, but also the darker connections between these nationalist projects and the recent rise of the far right in Western politics. Join us this Sunday as we learn about the stories we tell ourselves, the myth of “tradition”, and the joys of cultural diversity!
