hiya folks!

affiche-miniboom_web

Couleur Café might be on this weekend in Brussels, but it’s a not so interesting edition and already finishing around midnight. So it’s time for some rougher world colours in a global dancehall and bass style for a real tropical party till the early morning light! Hosted by the all-female Tropical Boobs crew from Brussels, known from their wild global bass nights, in collaboration with Rebel Up! and Silver Canary. Expect everything from roots dancehall to cumbia, afro styles, folkloric beats, baile funk, trap and bass by these artists & crews >

Maga Bo (BR) & MC Teba (SA); ethnic bass & global dancehall
We’re proud to announce 2 special international guests on our night. Globetrotting producer Maga Bo hails from Rio de Janeiro and is one of the godfathers of the ‘global bass’ sound before the name had even been invented, having worked with artists from all around Africa and Latin America. His recent 2012 album *Quilombo do Future* features a modern Brazilian sound where he merged regional Afro folkloric styles from the Nordeste together with modern electronic dancehall beats, a true futuristic melting pot for the global dancefloor! MC Teba from Cape Town, South Africa, will perform duties on the mic during Maga Bo’s live set. Yep, be warned; it’s gonna be hot, steamy and wild.

Rebel Up! & Silver Canary crews present:
Oyé! *CUMBIA DANCEHALL Fiesta* @ Bouillon Kube
a night of cumbia & dancehall flowing together in one strong Afrolatino sound, connecting the Caribbean isles to the Latin continent without borders.

The Bouillon Kube is an old Galician restaurant which in olden days was also used as a resting place by pilgrims who travelled the Camino de Santiago. Now it has been turned into a global cultural spot for the St Gilles neighbourbood, where the focus is put on southern music, arts, poetry and film. They operate as a non-profit place where prices are fair, with drinks are much cheaper than elsewhere in town and so we make it a cheap night for all!

Time is Up to put on your shiniest shoes and prepare to move your legs in all kinds of directions,
On Saturday, the 4th of May Rebel Up! is back in Café De Vingerin The Hague to honor the return of the Sun (and the King, why not?) and deliver as usual our fittest sound from the global underground.
The deal is simple as usual, we ask you just a bit of money to help for one last time our friends from the Kenyan ONG Watoto Wa Baraka (more info available on  www.africanorphanage.org) and in exchange we guaranty to keep you dancing, smiling, mingling with fun people and just have a good time, like in a good friends party. It will groove for sure with Up and Down tempo from Africa, mashing guitars from Sahara, Brass bands from around the Mediterranean coasts and many rhythms from Brazil, Argentina y Columbia and the Caribbean. We’ll go crescendo to let you go in trance into heavy bass lines towards the end of our show.
Sweat promises…

Fri 22 Feb > Rebel Up! Soundclash Agga style @ café de Vinger, Den Haag

Flyer_RU_22_02

Hi Up there,
Rebel Up! is going to soundclash again on Friday 22nd of February at De Vinger in Den Haag.
The idea is as usual  to deliver a musical trip through time and space, to let you wander in all continents with a ricochet on some islands. We intend to provide you with a good time in an open and friendly atmosphere. All that with a slice of consciousness involved with all benefits at the entrance dedicated for a great association called Watoto Wa Baraka. They are actually working hard on developing care centers and orphanages in rural Kenya  (more info available on  www.africanorphanage.org).
As for musical matters, our DJ crew will be made out of 3 identities, ready and willing to clash along for your pleasure. SebCat, Palm M & DuckFood are bringing their music boxes from Rotterdam, Brussels and Den Haag. Our soundscape will mostly cross through African rough club rhythms and intricate roots, up to South American and Caribbean old and new dancefloor scenes. Surprises will come from the Middle East also. Mostly looking for rarities plus unexpected mixes and mashups, for one purpose only, put a smile in your face, close your eyes and let your body go with the flow.
Brave the cold and bring the heat!
See you then soon,
Rebel Up! Crew
