#7 F*** You! I'm Angry

Romarna Campbell

**This weekend edition of Kiezsalon returns to our familiar stomping grounds, the Musikbrauerei. Friday’s lineup features the Berlin debuts of art-folk-pop veteran Svitlana Nianio, jazz drummer Romarna Campbell and string enthusiast Atsuko Hatano, plus a DJ set by techno storyteller Shed. Saturday continues with Henry Earnest, Muireann Bradley and Conor.**

Svitlana Nianio, a prominent figure from Kiev's underground scene, first emerged in the late '80s with her group Cukor Bila Smert'. Her music, steeped in primal myths, weaves together temporal and otherworldly dimensions, embodying a unique form of magic realism. Nianio experienced a resurgence in the 2010s, leading to reissues of her albums and a return to performing.

The music of Birmingham-based drummer Romarna Campbell is infused with the nomadic spirit of jazz and hip-hop. Her debut single Inherently Political earned her recognition as the BBC's Jamz Supernova's ‘New Name of the Week.’ She continued to make waves with 25 Songs for My 25th Birthday, a kaleidoscopic collection released throughout 2020-2021. Atsuko Hatano, a string player, composer and improvisational musician based in Tokyo, creates innovative and multi-layered electronica using a five-string viola, pedals and Max/MSP. She also leads the collaborative project Triola, last seen in 2023 with the album Scapegoat, featuring contributions from the likes of Jim O’Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi.
