Lady Blaxx invites Emee. , April Maey & Majé

Description

Weg met stereotypes rond zwarte artiesten!

Met het nieuwe project Lady Blaxx invites wil Lady Blaxx de stereotypes rond zwarte artiesten doorbreken. Er staan immers helaas nog steeds bedroevend weinig zwarte artiesten op onze Belgische podia - zeker binnen de 'niet-zwarte' genres. Tijd voor broodnodige verandering! Dus nodigt Lady Blaxx opkomende artiesten van kleur uit voor een krachtige liveset, gevolgd door een goed gesprek. Deze avond kadert binnen Black History Month Belgium.

 

Lady Blaxx
Of ze nu in een kleine zaal staat of op een groot festivalpodium, Lady Blaxx weet het publiek moeiteloos in te pakken met eeen klok van een stem, u aangeboden op een bedje van groovy poprock met een vleugje funk.

 

 

Emee.
Emee. is een Congo-Belgische zangeres die een mix van soul en r&b brengt. Na jarenlang een 7-koppige liveband te hebben aangevoerd, keert Emee. terug naar haar eigen kern met een drietalig diasporisch project. Frans is haar moedertaal, Nederlands haar omgangstaal, en Engels de lijm tussen beide. Zo biedt ze, met indrukwekkende stem, een fris perspectief op allerhande levensverhalen.

 

 

April Maey
April Maeys tweede ep 'Ticket To Anywhere' - waarvan de titel geïnspireerd is op Tracy Chapmans song 'Fast Car' - toont aan dat de singer-songwriter moeiteloos switcht tussen verschillende genres en zich koppig uit op eender welke manier. April Maey heeft al samengewerkt met artiesten als MI Abaga, Loose Kaynon, Boogey, Ycee, Koker, Reinhard Tega, Yung L, Poe, Oxlade en vele anderen. Ze is van alle markten thuis en heeft al ervaring opgedaan in de design-, media-, marketing- en kunstwereld. In 2012 en 2014 kwam ze naar buiten met haar kunstcollecties genaamd 'Familiar Faces' en 'The Esoteric collection'. April Dokpesi, zoals de artieste bij de burgerlijke stand bekendstaat, is geboren in het Nigeriaanse Lagos en woont momenteel in Gent.

 

 

Majé
Majé (née Elvira Lawson) is een Belgische singer-songwriter en pianiste. Ze is geboren en getogen in Roeselare, maar haar ouders zijn afkomstig uit Togo. Op haar tiende begon ze met pianoles. De artiestennaam Majé komt van het Togolese 'madjé', wat 'sierlijk' betekent. Via Majé kan Elvira de emoties en gedachten kwijt die ze in het dagelijkse leven moeilijk kan uiten.
Vorig jaar kwam haar debuutsingle 'Loud & Proud' uit, die ze schreef na een woelige avond vol excessieve zelfkritiek. Tijdens het schrijfproces ontdekte ze hoe onzekerheden het eigen groeiproces kunnen belemmeren. Het nummer kondigt een nieuw tijdperk aan waarin Majé het leerproces omarmt en het verleden vaarwel zingt. Een album is volop in de maak, tussen haar rechtenstudies aan de KULeuven door. Als invloeden noemt ze o.m. Lianne La Havas, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Anderson .Paak, Zap Mama, Coely en Miss Angel.

Join Harshat and Fitz, two experienced comedians from Berlin with very different cultural backgrounds. One, a brooding bad boy having grown up in the hustle and bustle of India. The other, a confused small town country kid from New Zealand trying to adapt to the manic German way of life. Given these two vastly different backgrounds we have a mix of two competing comedic styles; dark, edgy and punchy versus warm, cute and absurd - you guess who is who. Both equally likable and hilarious. We aim to answer the age old question: is funny black and white? Or are there shades of grey? The Comedians: Fitz is a comedian who has performed across New Zealand and Australia to sell out audiences. He has brought his comedy to Europe having moved here in 2023. Fitz's comedic style has been described as warm, punchy and energetic. His shows are jam packed with absurd commentary on life in Europe and wild stories of growing up on a farm in New Zealand. Harshat Grew up between the chaotic concrete jungles and the equally chaotic countryside of India. Currently, he is trying to forget the Bollywood remix tunes but still bring a Desi angle to his comedy in Berlin. He derives his wit from his satirical grandmother and his comedy is based on real life observations and childhood tales. His funny bone was developed as a coping mechanism for his chaotic upbringing and is now used to gain the attention he craves. These two comedians couldn't be more different and have become friends in the most unlikely circumstances. With this show you are really getting it all, guaranteed laughs and very contrasting perspectives. Be ready to be left in stitches saying to yourself "funny really is black and white".
