FromJuly 9 to August 1, 2026, the festivalwill present24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world over four summer weekends. Each evening’s program features two concerts, followed by a DJ set. The result is twelve nights full of musical discoveries, movement, and encounters in the heart of Berlin—once again with free admission for everyone. 

Ra Mava was born in Umthatha in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. He owes his love of music to his mother, who introduced him to legends such as Letta Mbulu, Brenda Fassie, Miriam Makeba, and Hugh Masekela. In the late ’90s and 2000s, his brothers expanded his musical horizons with kwaito, house, and hip-hop—foundations that continue to shape his sound to this day.

Today, as a DJ and percussionist, Ra Mava brings this rich heritage to life in dynamic sets and live performances. He has long been a part of Mthwakazis Xhopera (Xhosa + opera), adding rhythmic depth to the ensemble with djembe, congas, shakers, and other percussive elements.
