Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Enormous talent, a contagious joy of performing and a style-savvy approach to the musical traditions of New Orleans are what distinguish Tank and The Bangas, who are at their best when live on stage, skilfully paying tribute to old jazz and blues, while bringing their music into the present with modern soul, flowing hip-hop, deep R’n’B, fat funk and casual spoken word. The lively performances revolve around their charismatic lead singer Tank Ball, who, having grown up in the slam poetry scene, serves great lyrical depth, while in the very next moment luring her brilliant rhythm section into a cheeky, pointedly funky question-and-answer game, confidently accompanied by her backup singers. Good mood guaranteed!
