The Stroke Urban Art Fair takes place at Praterinsel Munich, starting on Thursday May 3rd and ending this Sunday May 6th. More about the Stroke exhibition. Here is the Stroke facebook invite for all parties and all other details (click Flyers for bigger display). Opening Night will be Thursday @ Crux with our folks from Inside the Haze . Going back and forth from electronicas to the tunes of the post dubstep world and modern urban hip hop. check my folks Jakub, Lili, Igor & Andre @ inside the haze.com
Night No 2 will the STROKE ARTIST NIGHT @ Fernweh & Malaria which is purely Tropical Tunes (Moombahton, Cumbia, African Tunes & Baile Funk) @ YIP YAB with Georg Milz & Schowi on the turntables and the FOKN Bois from Ghana performing live. Check Georgs full blog entry for more on the FOKN Bois. Looking fwd to this concert and that night which became our favourite in no time at all. Tropical Madness
The 3rd and FINAL Night will be a collaboration of three homegrown munich blogs:
Its @ Praterinsel (same spot as the exhibition) with a huge outdoor area and a small indoor area (Gasthaus Praterinsel) – so in case of bad weather there will only be 2 small indoor areas. (Bad Weather = Rain). Other than that we will already start in the late afternoon playing some sophisticated and mellow tunes in the (hopefully) sunny open air area. But the night starts at 11pm and Djs will be myself, Dan Gerous, D-Nice, Tommy Montana, Buson & Caspar. Going back and forth between the styles we are known for :) So come have a dance with us outside under the spring moonlight.
Win Tickets - You can win 5 x 2 tickets for Saturday with our YUM YUM Newsletter.
Ps. Since its such a huge thing we decided to skip this weekends YUM YUM on Saturday and have our friends from Original./Berlin play @ YIP YAB instead.

Sensationell nächsten Freitag ist es soweit: Die Fokn Bois kommen aus Ghana zu Fernweh & Malaria ins Yip Yab. Facebook Einladung hier.
Die Fokn Bois haben mit Pidgin Rap ihr eigenes Genre kreiert. Hier sind die Texte zentral. Die Macht des Wortes. Pidgin ist der Straßenslang Westafrikas. Wer es besser verstehen will, der schaut sich am besten den Film „Coz of Moni“ an, ein Pidgin Musical bei dem die Fokn Bois alle Dialoge eingerappt haben.
Bekannt wurden Wanlov und Mensa, die beiden Lausbuben hinter den Fokn Bois, mit ihrem Song „Thanks God we are not a Nigerians“. Hier werden alle Klischees aufgezählt, die in Ghana über den anglophonen Nachbar Nigeria existieren. Erstaunlich ist, dass sie genauso gut auf die Bevölkerung Ghanas anwendbar sind. Insofern wurden den beiden Rappern zwar Prügel von wütenden Nigerianern angedroht, Nigerias größter Popstar 2Face Idibia verstand dagegen ihren Humor und lud sie für ein Konzert nach London ein, wo sie für ihn die Show eröffneten. Eine große Ehre für die beiden Rapper, deren Musik zuvor kaum vom westafrikanischen Mainstream-Publikum wahrgenommen wurde.
Mensa hat in den 90ern die Beats für den Gründungsvater des Hiplife, Reggie Rockstone produziert und so die Basis für Ghana’s populärstes Genre geschaffen. Zuletzt ist Mensa auf der Platte „Rocket Juice and the Moon“ zu hören, ein Projekt des Frontmanns von Blur und Mann hinter Gorillaz, Damon Albarn, dem Bassisten der Red Hot Chilli Peppers Flea und dem Ex-Fela Kuti Drummer, Tony Allen.

Fokn Bois -FOKN Future (Slap in the bass Remix)
Wanlov sorgte kürzlich in Ghana’s bekanntester TV-Talkshow für Aufruhr, als er sein bestes Stück präsentierte. Die Moderatorin hatte ihn gefragt, ob es stimmt, dass er keine Unterhose trägt, woraufhin er nicht lange zögerte. „This is not a Controversy but a Penisversy“ rechtfertigte er die Aktion später in der Presse. Neben etlichen Schlagzeilen hatte der Zwischenfall weitere Konsequenzen. Zwei Mitarbeiter der TV-Show wurden gefeuert, die Rastas in Ghana wollten Wanlov verprügeln und der Minister of Information kündigte an, Wanlov auf ganz besondere Art und Weise bestrafen zu wollen. Er solle am Flughafen in Accra das Grass mit einem kleinen Messer mähen, während ihm der Rest des Landes dabei zuschaut. Wanlov setzte sich kurzer Hand in den Flieger und machte sich aus dem Staub …
Was die Fokn Bois noch auf dem Kerbholz haben, werden sie uns am 4. Mai bei Fernweh & Malaria berichten.
