From Goethe Institut:
This year marks the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Germany and Vietnam – and the Deutschlandfest, organized in Hanoi by the Embassy, the Goethe-Institut and numerous German organizations and companies, invites you to enjoy the celebrations.
Cool sounds for the Deutschlandfest will be provided by the band Raggabund, appearing at the invitation of the Goethe Institute. Representing a colorful, multicultural Germany, the musicians sing in Spanish, German or English about life and love, but also about social justice and tolerance.
Musically they switch easily between genres, from Dancehall Ragga or Latin Beat to hip-hop or relaxed ballads. Raggabund’s musical energy immediately puts audiences under their spell. Experience the band live at the Deutschlandfest in a brief appearance that will whet your appetite for the big concert in the evening.
The two brothers with the stage names Paco Mendoza and Don Caramelo – from Munich, with South American roots – and the band members Luca and Michele Bochicchio from Italy will introduce their band Raggabund the evening before the Deutschlandfest in the Goethe-Institut. They will talk about “crowdfunding” and their experiences with this financing option for their latest album, followed by a small gig at the Goethe-Institut Hanoi. The musicians will also appear live in concert on 26 March in HCMC.
Free entrance.
Raggabund came to Vietnam in 2013 for CAMA Festival 7; unfortunately, the festival was cancelled. After that, they played a smaller show at ATK.
