7. Viennese Soulfood Festival/2. Maja’s Musik Markt

The meanwhile six Viennese Soulfood Festivals and the successful first edition of Maja’s Musik Markt [Maja’s Music Market] in the past year have shown how much hunger for new things the Viennese audience has with regard to music, and how often it is underestimated. Under the maxim “Stop accepting and start seeking!”, in April the two events will merge into a fresh format in brut: market during the day, and festival at night. Even more courage, curiosity, and lust for the discovery of new music are asked for. Discussions, food for thought, and the examination of one’s own listening habits are explicitly encouraged and made possible within the scope of the festival. In a loose market atmosphere, mixed up with small concerts and discussions on current themes about the music landscape, numerous independent labels offer their music for listening and naturally also for purchase. The three evenings are all dedicated to the sixteen live acts which comply with the full variety of musical tastes − from the Wienerlied [Viennese folksongs] up to rock, soul, noise, electronic music, new music, hip-hop, and free improvisation − and inspire departures into unknown music worlds. www.viennesesoulfood.at
