As with every DreamBus journey, this night will feature special guests—artists who’ve helped shape Café Chocolat since its founding in 2024, featuring: Miziguruka (Rwanda), Mariama (Sierra Leone, Berlin), Huguette Tolinga, Nyangombe, and Jolez-Bo (all DR Congo) & concluding with DJ Shiru.
“An evening of Bantu Soul, global rhythms, and diasporic celebration”… DURCHLÜFTEN welcomes Café Chocolat with a special edition of its community-rooted series, presenting an unforgettable evening led by Batila & The DreamBus — a Berlin-based collective of outstanding international musicians known for their soul-stirring fusion of grooves, melodies, and ancestral rhythm. The sound? Bantu Soul — music by people, for people — coined by bandleader and songwriter Batila, whose Congolese roots and deep love for Rumba Congolaise anchor this rich and spiritual sonic journey.
The DreamBus lineup includes Band leader Batila singing and guitar, Dodo NKishi (Mouse on Mars) on drums, Skyline Sun on guitar, Paul Hoyle on bass, Nane Kahle on backing vocals, Sam Konzi and Kalle Zeier on guitars, Adam Pawel Dziewialtowski-Gintowt on percussion, and Mauricio Fleury on keys and flute. Together, they channel a pan-African, diasporic energy that’s both powerful and joyful. Additional instrumentalists to the evening are Eurico Ferreira Mathias on Cello and Pedro Dantas additional Drums.
Join us for an unforgettable night of music, stories, and connection!
