Festival Avant-Garten

Waldbühne

18:30 – 20:00 / 20:30 – 22:00 OZAN ATA CANANI & KARABA
Ozan Ata Canani arrived in Bremerhaven at the age of 12 as the son of an Anatolian guest worker. In 1978, at the age of 15 and already a master on the Anatolian long-necked lute Bağlama, he published the first Anatolian song cycle in German. Songs like »Deutsche Freunde« (German Friends) summed up the worries and longings of the so-called guest workers from southern Europe. At the end of the seventies he joined the band »Die Kanaken« around the Anadolu rock legend in political exile, Cem Karaca. After that it became calm around Canani, who earned his money on the assembly line of a plastic bucket factory - until an appearance of him in 1982 in Alfred Biolek's TV show Bio's Bahnhof was uploaded on Youtube much later. Then in 2013 he re-recorded »Deutsche Freunde« for the compilation »Songs of Gastarbeiter Vol.1«, started performing live again, and finally completed his legendary songs after more than 40 years on the album »Warte mein Land, warte« (Wait my Country, wait), which was released last year on Fun in the church Records, the outernational offshoot of the quality label Staatsakt. Ozan Ata Canani plays his timeless classics live with the band Karaba (with musicians from Embryo, among others) as a double concert at the cozy summer festival Waldbühne.

From 18:30 SOLICASINO No Summer Festival would be complete without this classic form of entertainment-solidarity. Where else can the joyful (games, fun, diversion) be combined with the helpful (charity)? If luck holds out, there will also be an un-loseable raffle, along with countless other aces up countless other sleeves. It will be as worthwhile as ever and don’t forget: When you lose, others win! Strong drinks, liqueur and soft music will also be on offer – we promise!

FESTIVAL AVANT-GARTEN INFO

Like last year, Hamburg's pearl of pleasure parks will be designed by JASCHA&FRANZ - conceptually accompanied by the long-time festival associated performance group JAJAJA and extended by a Waldbühne by Urs Amadeus Ulbrich and Gras & Steine. With references to fun fairs and theme parks and with a concept for accessibility, the Festival Avant-Garden offers various areas with installations, performances, culinary delights from the Peacetanbul Restaurant and a daily changing program on several open-air stages and the Migrantpolitan building (details in the program overview).

Capacity is limited due to the pandemic and access is only possible with a personalized ticket (3€, available in advance and at the box office). With a ticket for another festival performance on the same evening you can enter the garden for free - as long as there is enough capacity, otherwise there might be bridgeable waiting times. Seated areas in front of the various garden stages will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Details about hygiene rules on site will be published here in due time.
