ohlala, thank you all for coming out last saturday, we raised 140€ for Seed Samburu, big up!
last monday our Rebeluppalite dj SebCat did a radio session in the Radio Taxi programme at Urgent FM student radio as part of Rebel Up!/Brussels Up special with buddy dj Leblanc. We arrived 10 minutes late because of a minor car accident. Listen to it here >>>
yeehawww.
time to kick off a new Rebel Up! Soundclash season at OCCII. From now on our parties will be once every 2 months instead of every month, just to keep it fresh and focused.
Coming saturday 27th, the Rebel Up! crew will meet the Bassculture crew from A’dam for a night of tropical bass, roots & funk, exotic folkpop and other vintage sounds to dance to. check the facebook event here.
Ofcourse our profits will go to a good charity as usual. With the heavy famine that is waging in the horn of Africa right now, we would like to raise emergency funds for the NGO SEED Samburu / Edukans. We also hope that everyone can donate whatever they can spare…it all helps!
A few weeks ago, the UN World Food programma decided to stop sending food reliefs to the tribal region of Central Sambura where the Samburu people live (a pastoral-nomadic tribe related to the Masai) and instead all food now goes to the refugee camps. It’s unfair that the UN turns their back on the Samburu and choose to let them starve. All the educational progress that has been made the past few years by NGO’s like Seed Samburu is on the point of being swooped away because without food, there is no education. Just 10 euro’s will already feed a Samburu child for a full month at school. This is the only daily meal they get as their own families are not able to feed them. Please give the Samburu kids a meal a day so that their life & education can continue!
If you are in Holland, you can also donate through this Edukans link or if you are elsewhere in the world, check the SEED Samburu site.

Allo!
Tomorrow our sand digging nomad selector Riquetik will play a special early bird wake-up set at the Landjuweel festival in Ruigoord, from 12:00 to 14:00 outside -or in case of bad weather inside- the church. This year’s Landjuweel has plenty sonic space dedicated to world music, with live performances from Antwerp Gypsy Ska Orchestra and Jungle By Night and many fine DJs including Zerkalo and Polyesta. It also serves as a ‘futurological congress’ in which the prospects for cultural free spaces in and around Amsterdam will be discussed. More info can be found in www.landjuweelfestival.nl
Hope to see you there!
Regardz,
Rebel Up! Crew

A few weeks ago, the UN World Food programma suddenly decided to stop sending food reliefs to the tribal region of Central Sambura where the Samburu people live (a pastoral-nomadic tribe related to the Masai) and instead all food now goes to the refugee camps. It’s an unthinkable decision that the UN turns their back the Samburu starve and for that we boo the UN! Now all the educational progress that has been made in the last few years by NGO’s like Seed Samburu has been swooped away because without food, there is no education. Just 10 euro’s will already feed a Samburu child at school for a full month. Please give the Samburu kids a meal a day so that their education can continue!

hello hello,
this weekend (29th-31st) it’s time for Sfinks festival again in the green village of Boechout (Antwerp) and we’re invited to perform on the saturday! We’ll be playing our global mashed dance set in the main Concert Tent from 1:00 til 2:30 at night, right after our Colombian friends of Systema Solar and warming up for our buddy Munchi, yeah! Expect a heavy DJ & VJ set of cumbia bass, swinging soukous, unheard shangaan, krazy kuduro, kurdish hiphop, and other electro-folk styles together with colourful visuals.
We’ve made a promo mix for Sfinks, you can check & download it here!
With the heavy famine that is waging in the horn of Africa right now, we would like to raise emergency funds at the end of our Rebel Up! set. We will walk around with a donation box and we hope that everyone can donate whatever they can spare. All the proceedings will go to the NGO Seed Sambura in Kenya.
The Sfinks festival programme promises 3 days of good world music. On the Friday it’s a balkan theme with the music of movie director Emir Kusturica & The no smoking Orchestra and Robert Soko. Saturday has a fine lineup with Ayfer Düzdas (Kurdish folk), Lëk Sèn (Senegalese dancehall), Rubén Blades (spicy Panamese salsa), Alpha Blondy (African roots), Systema Solar (Colombian cumbia fusion), Munchi (fresh moombahton) and ofcourse our set to make you swing and dance, no doubt 😉 On the Sunday we can highly recommend Dikanda (Polish folk), Mamer (central asian folkpunk), Khaira Arby (Malinese desert funk, best show at recent All Tomorrow’s Parties!), Bomba Estéreo (more cumbia!), Hindi Zahra (Moroccan folk fusion) and Faiz ali Faiz (Pakistani qawwali). Also check out the Cabaña on sunday, where dj’s Polyesta and MPS Pilot will be spinning.
Weekendtickets are just 50€, 40€ for sat+sun or 25€ for one day. Buy your tickets in presale though, otherwise they cost 15-20€ more at the gate!
See you there,
Rebel Up! crew
