Urban + Aborignal XV: China

15.11. – 17.11.2002 Podewil, Werkstatt der Kulturen der Welt URBAN + ABORIGINAL – Music and performance between Rock, Jazz, “ethnic” and “new” music, in the borderland of styles, cultures and between the arts. Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V. have presented their annual festival “Urban + Aboriginal” since 1985. With its shifting emphasis on different regions and themes, the festival has developed into a focal point for contemporary music and performance in Berlin. It presents soloists and ensembles who operate in the thickets between “new” and “ethnic” music, rock and jazz, and who cross boundaries between the arts: music and performance by big-city natives – the transgressors, troublemakers and trappers in the crossfire of cultures and styles….
