This will be a home match for Akua Naru. Because the "First Lady of Global Hip-Hop" is coming to the Brotfabrik for the third time after a one-year break, where she already met an enthusiastic audience the first time in March 2015.
This was only too happy to let the charismatic US artist, who had made her way to Cologne, involve them in the rousing performance.
Even though LaTanya Olatunji (her real name) knows how to entertain her fans, her songs never fall short of messages.
"I think there is room for profundity and that people are ready for it," Akua Naru once told www.laut.de in an interview.
Music with soul and with political content are a challenge for her.
About her second album "The Miner's Canary", the musician revealed, "It's about hip hop and jazz and justice and love and everything in between."
After concerts all over the world, including India, Romania, Nigeria, USA, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, France, La Réunion, Guadeloupe, Cape Verde, Portugal, Georgia, Jordan and Senegal, she has poured all her new experiences into new tracks.
The fourth album, "When The Joy Comes," has been announced for this fall's tour.
Her music continues to evince political urgency and feminist intellectual poetry.
