The Nigerian Yoruba percussionist and singer Wura Samba and Berlins electronic multitalents Gebrüder Teichmann met in Lagos, Nigeria through the TEN CITIES Project, where they were producing music together with Bristols Pinch, Rob Smith and Perera Elsewhere. After their debut on Soundway Records (V.A. - Ten Cities) and the "2 Cities / Berlin - Lagos" EP on NOLAND they have started performing as a trio right before the pandemic. Their new EP GUDUGUDU features two tracks of their live sets: Iba Eledua by Wura Samba and an interpetation of Eniyan Biaparo by Tunji Oyelano.

Wura Samba:
Abiodun "Wurasamba" Oke leads the 7-man Yoruba traditional Drum ensemble "Wurasamba". The name Wurasamba is derived from the combination of the Yoruba word for gold and the samba drums. Oke is an accomplished percussionist, who has performed with some of Nigeria and Africa's finest musicians. He has toured with Keziah Jones, singer Nneka, Salvador Sango, Ade Bantu, Jimi Solanke, Tunde Jegede and many others.
His specialist Instrument is the complex multi-tonal traditional drum set- the "Sambabe" drums. He also performs via the media of djembe, congas and other percussive Instruments. His style is characterised by a deep adherence to complex Yoruba traditional religious themes. This is comprised of chants, led by Oke, with backing vocal support- with Oke's high energy, drum displays.

„We grew up in times when Berlin still was a playground for an improvised DIY scene. Clubs occupied temporary spaces and moved from one place to the other. Music tried to push borders as well. One thing that many people of the early days say about the scene is that it was the first space where young people from east and west Germany met and created something together. A lot of our inspiration comes from that and we tried to scale it with our projects, onto a global level. We see a strong energy and need to unite people. It is an attempt to soften effects of divide and rule from political and economic factors, alongside a continued effort to add old-school spontaneity against a backdrop of globally franchised culture and entertainment.“

Brothers Andi & Hannes Teichmann, aka Gebrüder Teichmann, are electronic musicians, DJs and cultural activists, rooted in Berlin‘s techno underground and DIY-culture since the late nineties.
Over the years the brothers have collaborated with numerous artists across a variety of genres. Collaborations have included hip hop, contemporary, traditional and experimental music with collaborators including Robyn Schulkowsky, Ensemble Modern, Decoder Ensemble, Embryo, rRoxymore or their father, multi-instrumentalist Ulrich Teichmann.
The duo have performed at Berlin‘s premiere clubs including Berghain/Panorama Bar, WMF, Watergate, Bar25 and have hosted regular nights at Suicide Circus Berlin since 2009.
Andi and Hannes have put together several projects in cooperation with the Goethe-Institute, like TEN- CITIES, BLNRB & SOUNDCAMP in Sri Lanka, Pakistan & Mexico, and established the intercultural electro ensembles KARACHI FILES (Pakistan/Europe), BLNRB (Nairobi/Berlin) & MONDMASCHINE (Mexico/Central America/Europe).
With their label NOLAND they are compressing this diversity. Their musical activities from DJing, giving workshops and playing live sets have taken them to over 60 countries as far as Afghanistan, Honduras, Sibiria or Angola. Home in Berlin they have been curating several festivals, such as the „From Inside To Way Out“ at HAU Hebbel Am Ufer, the African Music Convention 2014 or parts of the WORLDTRONIC Festival at Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
