Fresh wind: DJ set by DJ Batmacumba

DJ-set of artists who have collaborated with MEG in the past and who this time take us into their world. MEG garden. Thursday 21 July 2022 from 7pm to 8.30pm.

Are you afraid of the heat wave and the exhausting heat? A musical breeze of coolness will blow over MEG this summer so that you can relax and cool off with music.

The MEG garden will be moving to the rhythm of music during the summer. The MEG is once again inviting various DJs who have collaborated in the past on the Réveil des Archives sonores, a project to enhance the museum's collection of more than 5000 LPs.

This time they take us into their musical world by sharing records from their own personal collection. A garden, sun, deckchairs and music to relax, dance and enjoy.

Artist: DJ Batmacumba

Tiago Trigo is a Porto-born DJ based in Switzerland who is a seasoned music lover. Addicted to Soul, proto-Disco and Boogie from the 70's and 80's, he likes to mix it with all kinds of obscure nuggets and, above all, the Brazilian sounds he grew up with. A firm believer in David Mancuso's philosophy of music as one of the central pillars towards an egalitarian utopia, his sets attempt to recreate the potential of music as a universal language, evidence of the cross-contamination of different cultures.

In the end, the message is simply a continuation of one of Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil's most famous poems, a composition made in 1968 that attempted to highlight this fusion of identities into something greater than the meaning of the words themselves. A poem they called Batmacumba.

Open to the public. Outside, in the MEG garden. Free event.

The MEG Café will remain open until 8.30pm to welcome you.

Activity accessible to a non-French speaking public.
