An evening organized by Faunafest can be best be described as an evening "where the boundary between stage and audience ... The audience dissolved integrated albeit unconsciously, in an ongoing show. The stage shape converges in a final merger. An unforgettable celebration."

So if you're not already a member, please register on the website www.urbanlife.se so you do not miss the opportunity to experience an evening where we celebrate the meeting between the world's different cultures and musical styles.

Rikard Rehnbergh reviews the US band TV On The Radio recent performance and gets caught in the heat.

Alternative indie arty funky punky post-rock act TV On The Radio (TV) gave a, literally speaking, sweaty performance at the club Debaser (the name taken from the classical Pixies-track from 1989) at Södermalm in Stockholm. The vocalist Tunde Adebimpe was sweating floods from his hair and beard inside the hothouse club, meanwhile the rain was pouring down outside, and fellow member and singer Kyp Malone was keeping his cool in an African tunicle. But the very expectant audience also perspired during the show, which in the beginning was a bit pending, but it took the second half of the show and the end to really liven it up!

 Kommer ni ihåg
Thomas Gyllings tv-program Tropicopop, som sändes i slutet av 80-talet/början av 90-talet? Ikväll finns chansen att uppleva stämningen, kläderna och musiken på nytt när han tillsammans med flera prominenta gäster bjuder in till en storslagen reunion i Kungsträdgården, Stockholm.
Mellan kl 19 och 22 så kommer allt från latin, soca, dancehall och tropicopop ljuda från högtalarna. Dessutom så uppträder en rad artister, exempelvis Wayne Beckford, Diva Cruz och brittiska house/soca-drottningen Chardanai.
Om du inte får nog av festandet i Kungsträdgården så är det bara att fortsätta inne på närbelägna Berns, kl 22-03. Dit ansluter bland annat Stephen Simmonds då klubben Mosquito Room tar över taktpinnen.
Gör dig redo för en kväll med musikaliska rytmer från världens alla hörn!

Exclusive to Urbanlife.se
Anna Reynolds – Konträr
At the recent EU Urban music event I had the pleasure of sharing a rooftop lunch with Anna Reynolds, a multi-talented artist from Germany. Having sadly missed her performance, singer / songwriter / producer, Anna described her music to me as sometimes aggressive, yet still melodic electro sound with accents from punk, '80s new wave and old soul. I was intrigued to hear this petite, urban singer with a cool Afro and on her return to Germany Anna kindly presented Urbanlife.se with the exclusive Swedish premier of her new video: Konträr.
