Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Update: Leider muss das Konzert ebenso wie alle weiteren Konzerte der Summer in the City Reihe abgesagt werden.

Gemäß der Dreizehnten Verordnung zur Anpassung der Verordnungen zur Bekämpfung des Corona-Virus vom 9. Juni 2020 des Landes Hessen sind bis einschließlich 16. August 2020 keine Großveranstaltungen gestattet. Da dieser Zeitraum die Mehrheit der im Rahmen von Summer in the City 2020 geplanten Veranstaltungen betrifft sehen wir uns leider gezwungen das gesamte Festival abzusagen.

Pat Thomas, a legend of Ghanaian highlife music, has a powerful, resonant voice that was first hailed as “the golden voice of Africa” in 1978. After a 40-year music career the 72-year-old released his first international album in 2015, “Pat Thomas & The Kwashibu Area Band“, together with Afro-beat legend Tony Allen, with whom he tried to find the vibes of a lost session from 1977. This has been followed by an almost uninterrupted world tour which now stops off at the Palmengarten – a must for all fans of Ebo Taylor (who Pat Thomas played with when he was starting out), C.K. Mann, Fela Kuti and Tony Allen! The singer and band will also present their new album ‘Obiaa!’, which has been praised by The Guardian as a “sparkling highlife reinvention” with skipping bass, shimmering guitars, delicate percussion and the voice of Pat Thomas exuding unshakable optimism.
