On October 31st, all ways lead to Bonn: MC Brother Culture (UK) and Little Lion Sound (CH) are coming to town, for a heavyweight session powered by NAMBAWAN Soundsystem.
We are thrilled to welcome BROTHER CULTURE back to Bonn after more than ten years – invited by FUTURE ROOTS SOUNDSYSTEM as part of a special Dub on the River celebration.
Hailing from Brixton, London, Brother Culture has been a powerful voice in the UK sound system scene since the 1980s – bringing conscious lyrics, uplifting power and deep experience to stages all over the world.
Joining him live are LITTLE LION SOUND – top producers and heavyweight sound crew from Geneva, known for their explosive sessions and unmistakable energy. They are also the founders of the internationally respected Evidence Music label, which has released a wide range of modern roots, dancehall and dub productions – including many powerful tracks with Brother Culture and a long list of international artists.
And there’s a cherry on top: The in-house cinema is showing the UK classic “Babylon” (1980) right before the dance. A night full of culture!
