ADKDW Cologne • Artist-in-Residence

Following her contribution to our Learning to Listen podcast, singer and ADKDW artist-in-residence Danielle Almeida presents her didactic concert Diaspórica live at Oblomov in Berlin Kreuzköln. In a didactic recital, the audience will be introduced to a series of songs and rhythms by 20th-century Black women singers from the Latin American musical repertoire. Danielle will be accompanied by the guitar from the outstanding Chilean guitarist Pablo Camus with percussion by Seraphim.

In addition to the musical performance, Danielle will present parts of her research dedicated to making visible and remembering Black women singers from Peru, Cuba, Uruguay, Mexico and Brazil.

The special format is based on Danielle Almeida’s work and activism against racism and colonialism. Didactic concerts focus on the interaction of the artists with the audience, complementing the sensory experience of music with the transfer of knowledge about the works presented. The goal of this method is to inspire the audience to discover new musical references and non-hegemonic narratives in music history.
