Watch the set on YouTube: https://youtu.be/24us7PRe450 "Music means freedom!" those were the exact words of Christ Whap-a-dang - he unintentionally answers the BASF's tor4 question. The Heidelberg/Mannheim German DJ is the co-founder of the renowned world music event series "Disko Esperanto" at the Alte Feuerwache Mannheim. He is a passionate record collector and for many years has been an ardent fan of folkloric sounds from all over the world. With his DJ sets, he opens his private music archive and selects for you a round of danceable world music between tradition and modernity. From Latin American Salsa, Cumbia, Son Cubano, Merengue to Eastern European Balkan beats and brass, international Reggae and Ska, Arabic Rai, Bhangra and Bollywood sounds from India, Descarga and Afrobeat from the black continent and Klezmer to rebellious Mestizo, Spanish Rumba, Irish and Nordic Folklore, Gypsy music and ethno-infected Drum'n'Bass, everything comes to the turntable that invites you to dance unrestrainedly.
