KABEAUSHÉ

Radical, clever, complex: Pop artist Kabeaushé's performance is a big, joyful game. The singer, rapper, and producer creates a positively overwhelming and utterly captivating mix of styles and references. From his hometown of Nairobi to his current home in Berlin, from French baroque music to soundtracks and rock to hip-hop and pop. All of this is confusing and yet makes sense at the same time when he allows a wide variety of influences from music, film, and painting to escalate in his extravagant pop-cultural full artistic range. “It should bite a little in the ears,” says Kabeaushé. Warm-hearted in conversation, thoroughly angry on stage. He explores ideas of beauty, pain, and identity as far as possible. A hyper-creative powerhouse that pushes boundaries as much as the title of his new second album, “KABEAUSHÉ PRESENTS: IGGY SWAGGERING UNGRATEFUL INCESSANT LITTLE PEEEAAAAAAA." - live at Kampnagel.
