Niño de Elche (Spain)

The Spanish artist Niño de Elche can undoubtedly be described as an "anti" flamenco artist who questions and tears down the walls of the passionate and loving, but also strictly defined by many parameters flamenco style. Trained as a 'cantaor' or flamenco singer, his practice has evolved from the traditional flamenco sphere to a heterodox, contemporary practice in which he encounters a variety of collaborators such as C. Tangana, Angélica Liddell and Israel Galván. Niño is not only a musician, but also very much involved in performative practices, collaborating with choreographer Rocío Molina, participating in mixed media installations or exploring electronic soundscapes. He is a true multidisciplinary artist who combines guitar playing and flamenco singing with improvisation and an infinite curiosity for an ever-changing, almost rebellious approach in his liberating artistic catalog.

Pacifico Boy (Munich)

Pacifico Boy is another incarnation of Kamerakino and Das Weiße Pferd founder and singer Pico Be aka Federico Sánchez. The pieces are archaic and raw, their texture concrete and simple. Each performance is a holistic act avant la lettre: language and rhythm as autopoiesic monads of a physically tangible space-time unit. Of course, this too is an illusion: the figure of the primitive as a refuge for delicate attempts at reconnection with the primal source of life. Screamin' Word! Spoken Sound! Talkmusic! Beat & Lyrics!

Killabeatmaker (Colombia)

KILLABEATMAKER is not only an accomplished DJ, but has also created a vibrant live band that performs worldwide to thousands of people across Europe and America. The show brings a groovy and mystical combination through an energetic performance with unique instruments from the motherland. The live band consists of three musicians: Guadalupe Giraldo on drums, Colombian gaita and vocals. Julian Ramirez on percussions and backing vocals and finally KILLABEATMAKER, who complements an ecstatic show with amplified beatbox, rap, vocals and electrifying AKAI beats.
