SKAMPIDA’S inventive and cutting edge sound, filled with deep emotion and conviction, will make your soul tremble and will undoubtedly get you dancing. Thanks to their blasting live performances, they have become one of the most successful and popular groups to emerge from Colombia.

Baroeg on Tour stops for a second time at Grounds with the melancholic gothic doom of Dranconian, the melodic death metal of Nailed To Obscurity and the progressive sound of Fragment Soul.

Draconian
The Swedish gothic doom institute Draconian has been around for 30 years. Good reason to go on tour. The company has been delivering melancholy beauty mixed with heavy depressive sounds for seven albums. This is also reflected in the combination of grunts and angelic vocals. In short, a spectacle piece par excellence, both on record and on stage.

Nailed To Obscurity
Nailed To Obscurity has been active since 2005. This German band plays melodic doom/death with a progressive edge. Think of a mix of Opeth and Novembers Doom. It is also not surprising that the quintet releases their records via Nuclear Blast.

Fragment Soul
Fragment Soul is a Greek/Canadian band that will debut in 2021 with their first album. The successor will be released this year. Musically speaking, you can describe the band as progressive doom metal. An interesting band to discover.

BaBa ZuLa, the eccentric grandmasters of 21st-century Turkish psychedelic music, will thrill you with their experimental and spiritual blend of rock, folk and dub. At Grounds, they open the doors of their temple to take us, their followers, into higher realms during a quirky and improvised ritual.

Their story begins in 1996 in Istanbul, where the five band members start making music like true do-it-yourselfers with everyday objects such as spoons, machines and toys. Add to that traditional Oriental instruments like a darbuka or electric saz and the more modern Turkish drum machine, and you get BaBa ZuLa’s special sound, which they themselves call Istanbul Psychedelia.

Live, this results in an overwhelming and unique experience, as no show is the same as the previous one. An eclectic all-encompassing spectacle where they seamlessly blend different art disciplines. Beautiful costumes, belly dancers, poetry and a theatrical setting ensure that the audience is drawn into a tantalising audiovisual feast.

With their music, BaBa ZuLa bridges the present and the past. The conventional and the exotic. And the East and the West. So if the Bosphorus Bridge is ever in need of renewal, BaBa ZuLa will step in. Come and be immersed in their wonderful universe.

Mix a dose of klezmer with a pinch of jazz, add a shot of Balkan and a smidgen of Gypsy, et voilà, you’ve got the recipe for Amsterdam Klezmer Band. Brass, double bass, accordion and percussion all bolster each other with pulsing grooves full of subtle yet raw energy. At Grounds they are going to make us sweat, but are equally going to make us dream away to soulful songs of lament.

The Amsterdam Klezmer Band started out on the streets in 1996 as a group of buskers playing traditional Yiddish music. 28 years later, the band gained internationally success as a celebrated band with a rock solid live reputation. AKB re-energizes the sound of klezmer by throwing contemporary styles and techniques in the mix. Balkan and oriental music are gratefully used as key influences. The band manages to keep their music fresh, vital and often highly danceable wherever they take the stage.

Earlier this year, they released their latest album “Bomba Pop”, produced by Viennese DJ/producer Dunkelbunt. After 28 years, the band still sounds relevant, using klezmer as a foundation with a colourful and varied musical set on top. Inimitable, swinging and original.

With no less than 19 albums under its belt and after many successful collaborations with artists like Söndörgő, the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, Galata Gypsy and Lilian Vieira, the Amsterdam Klezmer Band is all set to make Grounds swing again.

Gaye Su Akyol, the wildly acclaimed Istanbul-based artist, delivers an unforgettable 4th album Anadolu Ejderi (Anatolian Dragon). Building upon her mélange of Turkish psychedelia, empowering statements and retro-futurist sonics, her vision is more personal and uncompromising than ever before.

Courage. Bravery. Daring. Those are the watch words that guided Turkey’s Gaye Su Akyol when she was making Anadolu Ejderi, her first full-length release in four years.

Everything on Anadolu Ejderi – the titles translates as “Anatolian Dragon” – breathes fire. It takes chances, the lyrics offer an exploration of politics in today’s Turkey. The personal is very much part of that. “In a political climate where a woman’s commitment to her passion, to falling in love, to her sexual identity is revolutionary enough, she is deeply passionate and able to express her love freely,” Akyol notes. “It would have been easy to sit in the comfort zone of the past."

Gidiki band is a musical ensemble that began playing and experimenting with Greek traditional music in 2014. From then on, they got to perform at all the festivals and venues in Thessaloniki, before moving to Athens and taking their final form. This meant their breakthrough, as it allowed the band to expand its audience and gain broader recognition. Last year, Gidiki performed in a sold-out show at New Grounds and now they are going to smoothly repeat that great night at Grounds!

A fundamental element of the band is the inclination for improvisation, which arises from the different musical influences of its members. Each live performance serves as an opportunity for experimentation with traditional musical forms and rhythms, as well as for establishing a dynamic relationship with the audience, creating the conditions for a contemporary “urban celebration.” Thus, the sound that emerges is constantly shaped and evolving while maintaining the identity and sounds of traditional instruments.

In 2023, the band released its first album titled “AHOY.” Gidiki Band has performed at major festivals in Greece and has undertaken several tours in foreign countries such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and more.

Grounds is een podium waar je baanbrekende, opkomende en bekende (inter)nationale muzikanten en bands in de meest uiteenlopende muziekstijlen kan zien. Bij Grounds gaan we van Turkse folk naar Afrobeat en van Latin naar Sahara blues. Met wekelijks concerten is Grounds de plek waar je de grotere namen uit de scene live ziet en tegelijkertijd nieuwe muziek ontdekt.

Naast het programmeren van live muziek wil Grounds iets bijdragen aan het culturele klimaat in Delfshaven door een podium te bieden voor talenten uit de wijk en muziek naar de wijk te brengen door openlucht wijkevenementen te organiseren of hier actief aan deel te nemen.

Grounds organiseert, faciliteert en neemt actief deel aan verschillende wijkevenementen in Delfshaven.  Voorbeelden hiervan zijn festival Werelds Delfshaven, Wereld Wijde Wijk, Pop-up Zomerparade, Pilgrim Harbour festival en Delfshaven Festival. Wijkactiviteiten zijn de ideale evenementen om buurtbewoners met elkaar te verbinden en mensen in aanraking te laten komen met muziek en met verschillende culturen. Waar Grounds met de wijkactiviteiten naar buiten treedt is Grounds ook de plek voor talenten uit de wijk om een keer op het podium te staan.
