Café Chocolat Evening #9 – last event of the year
04.12.25 @ Schokoladen-Mitte 🍫
Batila & The Dream Bus (Bantu Soul) + Guests: Ssemaganda (Uganda) + DJ PAYARES (Afro-Colombian Vibes)
“Another evening of Bantu Soul, global rhythms, and diasporic celebration…” ✌🏽
Café Chocolat returns with another heart-filled edition of our community-rooted series, featuring Batila & The Dream Bus — a Berlin-based collective of outstanding international musicians led by Batila, whose Bantu Soul sound fuses ancestral rhythm, groove, and spirit.
We’re thrilled to welcome Ssemaganda, a Ugandan multi-disciplinary artist, folk musician, dancer, photographer and storyteller whose work bridges the past and present. His music blends traditional instruments like the Adungu, Akogo, and flute with soulful vocals and gentle electronic tones — weaving stories of love, belonging, and unity. @ssemald_256
And for the dance floor — DJ PAYARES! @djpayares 🔥 Formerly known as El Profe, this Salsa Brava resident DJ brings his Afro-Colombian roots to Café Chocolat with an irresistible mix of salsa, soukous, and Congolese rumba — perfect for a night of rhythm, warmth, and connection.
🍲 As always, we’ll be serving food before and during the show — come early, eat, and meet friends before the music begins!
Café Chocolat is more than a concert — it’s a gathering. We celebrate and support local talent and newcomer Black and Brown artists & DJs within Germany’s diaspora communities. Because when communities are supported and treated fairly, they thrive. 🌱 @batilasound @msoundtrack @musicboardberlin
