In the organizer's words:
The original big band from "Babylon Berlin" with the songs from the series Live in Concert 2024!
The world is a different place in 1929. Berlin is wild, dirty, glamorous and party-loving at the same time. The MOKA EFTI ORCHESTRA, a 14-piece ensemble led by composers Nikko Weidemann and Mario Kamien and saxophonist/arranger Sebastian Borkowski, brings back the music and attitude to life of the 1920s, literally inviting concertgoers into the "Moka Efti", one of the entertainment palaces of 1920s Berlin and a prominent plot location from the series "Babylon Berlin"!
Nikko Weidemann and Mario Kamien are no strangers to the music business, but the job of supervising all the music in the picture for "Babylon Berlin" is uncharted territory. They were trusted by directors Tom Tykwer, Henk Handloetgen and Achim von Borries to compose all kinds of pieces, from blues and piano ragtime to chansons and opulent big band Charleston numbers. However, the title song "Zu Asche, Zu Staub" in particular is more about a lively feeling that can be transferred to today than about historical accuracy. Weidemann and Kamien were commissioned not only to produce the music, but also to cast musicians for both the film shoot and the soundtrack recordings. Together with Sebastian Borkowski, they put together the MOKA EFTI ORCHESTRA. Since then, they have become an integral part of the German live music scene and have also played acclaimed concerts abroad.
