About
DISCO BOUTIQ is a new series of events that will mainly focus on promoting a wide variety of old and new African Dance Music through Live and DJ Acts. Our events aim to feature Artists and Music that we rarely get a chance to hear and see.

BATIDA
is the brainchild of Angolan/ Portuguese Pedro Coquenão. A distinctly modern and vibrant project with its feet firmly rooted in the past, Batida combine samples from old 1970s Angolan tracks with modern electronic dance music. Music is the starting point but through dance, poetry, photography and video, Batida expands, taking in politics and social commentary but always bringing the party.

ZELALEM
is one of Nairobi’s sought after eclectic DJs who’s well-known for his wide array of African Music selection.

DISCO VUMBI
is a band that plays a fresh new form of Kenyan Dance Music created by one of Kenya’s newest innovative producer, Alai K, an artist recognized for his Hip Hop and Afro Fusion projects, will take you back to Kenya’s street disco-esque ways.

About
ALINE FRAZÃO was born in Luanda and lived between Lisbon, Madrid, Santiago de Compostela and Barcelona.

In life as in music there are no frontiers or oceans stopping her. She has debuted on stage at nine, learning since to walk the paths of traditional music from Angola, Cape Verde, MPB from Brazil or jazz.

After her first record “Clave Bantu” (2011) she is showing herself to the world with “Movimento” (2013). Aline composed all the songs of both records and was the producer of “Movimento”.

Aline performed at the just concluded Sauti za Busara festival in Zanzibar where she left the audience impressed with her mellow performances.

Goethe-Institut Nairobi presents Nneka, the sensational Afro-German warrior princess stretching from teardrop soul-singing to freestyle rapping. She grew up in the Delta region of Nigeria and later relocated to Hamburg. In 2005, she put out her first album,Victim Of Truth, followed by No Longer At Ease (2008) which impressed US rock star Lenny Kravitz so much that he invited her to be the supporting act on his tour.
The tour was followed by an extended stay in her native country, where she composed many of the songs on her third album, Soul Is Heavy (2011). This album is multi-faceted and “politically conscious”, a potpourri of Reggae, Soul, Afro, R&B and Hip Hop.
Nneka is setting out for an East Africa tour to Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the Sauti za Busara Festival in Zanzibar, made possible by Goethe-Institut.
Some regard the powerful vocalist Nneka first as an activist, and then as a musician. “I wouldn’t see myself as a political activist,” says the soul singer, “but if there were no pain in the world, I wouldn’t sing.”
