PANEL
POP vs POPULISMUS
SUNDAY l MARCH 22, 2020
Festsaal Kreuzberg - Am Flutgraben 2
Moderator: Lukasz Tomaszewski (Radio Cosmo)
Participants: Oxa / Héloa / Rodrigo da Matta
Has Pop become unpolitical? Quite the opposite, according to author and radio host Lukasz Tomaszewski.
Just like the daily political discourse, Pop and Rap are increasingly shaped by linguistic brutalisation and reactionary positions. Homophobic and sexist lyrics keep finding their way into the charts.
However, more and more musicians worldwide are mobilising against right-wing agitation and exclusion. For WDR COSMO, Tomaszewski portrayed protagonists from Germany, Poland, the USA, Venezuela and Italy.
In Psicotrópicos Festival, he speaks with Jens Balzer and Oxa from Brazil.
How does the liberal music- and cultural scene in Brazil experience the right-wing populist government of Jair Bolsonaro? And what strategies did they adopt in the fight against racism and homophobia?
