Opening - Sequence Part 1 BiniZion & Hassan Elmalik - Part 2 Rasdonovan - Part 3 Lath M’baye Toro M’baye & Moussa Coulibaly Part 4 Toro Balafon Moussa Coulibaly - Djembe - Part 5 Tanja Becker - Trombone Sasha Pushkin - Keyboard Moussa Coulibaly - Balafon Part 6 Djatou Touré Moussa Sasha Pushkin - Keyboard Regis Molina - Sax - Part 7 MoKATO has created a new cultural bridge at the former East-West border which our very different yet somehow similar cultural worlds brought them together. MoKATO offered an opportunity to make Berlin more multicultural close. Activists meet artists and cultural workers, exchange ideas, and look forward to a wide-ranging collaboration with cosmopolitan people. Initial discussions took place here, which then spread to other projects. The MoKATO regular meeting, with its salon-like atmosphere, struck a balance between the audience, the stage program, and the open microphone for news, promotions and stories.
