Hafenbounce Jam - Opening Act: cesco.blz

In the organizer's words:

Hafenbounce - Bounce to the Heaven!

Every first Thursday of the month, the over 100-year-old harbor station between Hamburg's fish market and the Elbe beach is transformed into a vibrant meeting place for musical creativity. Musicians - whether instrumental or vocal - come together to celebrate the magic of the jam in spontaneous sessions. Charismatic host and musician Khalil Kry leads the jam.

Hafenbounce is more than just a jam session - it is a space of appreciation for music and poetry and personal stories. Respect for art, respect in the audience, respect on stage.

So are you ready to Bounce? Then Bounce by!

Opening Act cesco.blz

Brazilian-German rapper, drummer, and multidiciplinary artist cesco.blz has been contriving his craft on stages throughout Europe since he was a child. Having both Brazilian and German heritage has allowed him to formulate his work in a way that brings together both cultures and accrues musical borders.

Language has become a staple in his music and lyrical composition utilizing his Native German and Portuguese tongue as well as his near expert level English skills, making his trilingual abilities trademark in his music.

"Language should never be a barrier between music and the people who consume it. Music is about empowerment, and that is what I aim to do, empower no matter the understanding of any one language."

Besides delivering memorable hip hop/baile funk groove, harmony, and feel good vibes his lyrics challenge toxic masculinity and address intercultural identities with a sense of lightheartedness. His body of work showcases this, with his first album debuting in 2021 and was followed up by a plethora of singles and collaborations, shining light on his musical range.

2023 is sure to garner some major revelations in his music. cesco.blz's latest work is a result of a lifelong dedication to music and his absolute love for hip-hop.

Admission: 19:00

The event series is supported by Lexware and Koskenkorva Wodka.
