Ezé Wendtoin & Band - Record-Release Concert "Black I Became"

Ezé is a multifaceted Black artist from Burkina Faso who celebrates his migration background.
Born in Ouagadougou, Ezékiel Wendtoin Nikiema, aka Ezé, only became Black in Germany.
By this, he does not mean his skin color, but the political dimension of being Black in Germany. The award-winning artist empowers himself with his music, in a society where Black Africans are often pigeonholed, from which he forcefully breaks out.
With his new DIY album "Black I Became," he once again becomes a bridge builder between people and does not hold back: Without shying away from painful topics, he writes about personal experiences full of wit, clarity, and sprinkled with humorous irony. His fourth album is Ezé's most political and personal album yet. It also opens a new musical chapter.
Rhythmically, "Black I Became" returns to its Afro roots. Dynamic and danceable sounds embrace the heart of cosmopolitanism, inspired mainly by Afro-beats, Afro-Trap, Amapiano, Drill, and West African vibes. Ezé mainly sings and raps in German about racism, migration and flight, climate crisis, masculinity, and vulnerability. The post-migrant album will be multilingual as usual. The diversity of the album is also evident through features with various dedicated guest artists.

Door opens at 7 p.m., standing room.
