by

On Sunday myself and a sizable crowd of Berliners congregated along the busy Am Treptower Park road hopeful to hear strains of Radiohead as they performed at Lollapalooza Festival. Radiohead certainly sounded good from our position and we could definitely make out ‘No Surprises’, ‘Creep’ and ‘2 + 2 = 5′ between the gaps in traffic. … Read more BLY Gig Guide #3: Synesthetic Sensual Overload

Brazilian Rapper Emicida Blasts the Politically Corrupt

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU Emicida_2015_–_Jose_de_Holanda-3854

I must say I never was such a huge fan of rap, but to me Brazilian rap is different. It was born from the class struggle that’s still very much present in Brazil, and shows a reality of Brazil that we don’t get to see in the media (especially not the foreign media). Emicida is … Read more Brazilian Rapper Emicida Blasts the Politically Corrupt
