Rainer Horner aka DJ Hooray had his first contact with Hip Hop in the mid-90s and from this moment on he was not only fascinated by the music but by the whole Hip Hop culture. Well known for his mixtapes, his record collection grew bigger and bigger, adding genres like jazz, soul, funk or even more extraordinary music like German Christ funk or African highlife. Up to this day he is strictly playing vinyl.
At the opening night of „Afropea Now!“ he will present us a musical journey through Africa with a set of classic afrobeat tunes, some Ethiopian jazz and of course lots of West African highlife music.
Special Afrobeat Diggin!
