June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

Guess what!? Cypress Hill was in Munich and tried to rock Tollwood! B-Real, Sen Dog, drummer and percussionist Bobo + DJ played in only three German cities in the year of their 25th anniversary of great successes, platinum and multi-platinum albums.

TSV1860 win Anglo-German Boxing Tournament but fans the real winners

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

When it comes to football, Munich is a city of red and blue. The red half of the city follow the mighty Bayern Munich and the blue, TSV 1860. It's the same colour combination in amateur boxing too.

On Saturday night at the Städttische Sport Hall in Sabener Strasse, just a stones throw away from the training ground where the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery and Thomas Müller spend their days developing their skills on the football pitch, London ABA came to take part in an annual...

Ilustrated Tale: A signal

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

 I will stop thinking for a while. I can´t, the music is a disaster and I came with Nataly. Who would think trying to get out of a breakdown going round bars with his sister? Although I´ve given up smoking, I keep on carrying my lighter everywhere. I light it and blow it out once and again. 'Let´s go,' I say and Nataly, behaving  as my therapeutical companion, jumps up from her seat as a spring. 'Where?,'  'Anywhere... anywhere you like...'  'Are you hungry?,' 'No, but I´ll go with...

Nneka, the voice of Nigeria

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

Nneka's soul is heavy and her music intriguing. The Nigerian-born and Hamburg-based artist spends 300 days a year on tour, so Munich's music scene could enjoy her concert on March 31st in Muffathalle. And even though the hall was half empty, it was also half full with a positive looking audience that came to see a special musician. Since 2005, she has released 5 studio albums - "Victim of Truth", followed by 3 years later "No Longer at Ease" which reached number 31 in Germany, "Concrete Jungle",...

Macy Gray and How Life Is

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

Macy Gray is quite unconventional, and for those who didn't go further than her one hit wonder "I try", the concert on 22nd February 2015 in Muffathalle would have been one without too many expectations. Not until the American singer, songwriter and producer, originally from Ohio, appeared on stage with sparkling outfit and a solid jazz band behind her to grab our attention, does it become apparent from the very first tone, that she is a very special musician. Macy Gray's music history is not...

Walk like a Japanese - from Kimono to Harajuku

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

"I don't want to go to Heaven. I want to be a Harajuku girl". This is what John Galliano would say once he visited Tokyo's cult neighborhood, the home of dazzling pop culture, melted in textures, colors, independent labels and social attitude. Harajuku's shopping malls and intimate boutiques cuddled along Omotesando Street, pinned down Japan on the world's fashion map, together with New York, London, Paris and Milan. This article will take you on a virtual tour starting from Tokyo streets and...

Fink, sort of a revolution

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

Fink is a musician, relatively unknown and yet quite famous. After more than two years since his last gig in Munich, he came back on 9th November, to fill Muffathalle to its last available spot and to remind us that good music never stays unnoticed. The Bristol born and London/Berlin based Fin Greenall - a DJ, singer-songwriter, producer and guitarist, presented his latest album "Hard Believer", with which he seems to have exited the previous "Perfect Darkness" state (also a track from the...

The Science Behind Superman

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

While Marvel has taken the lead in the superhero film industry, DC is now preparing a major effort to catch up. Last month, IGN posted a summary of the various cinematic projects in the pipeline from DC and their studio collaborators. It's safe to say that the coming films include a lot of exciting ideas: Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, Justice League, and more. Curiously enough, it seems like 2013 film Man Of Steel sparked all the ideas.

Despite the fact that Superman may represent the biggest...

Africa International Film Festival in Nigeria

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

When Nigeria is mentioned in Western media, usually the names of Ebola virus or Boko Haram fundamentalist group are the first to surface on headlines. Hence, few of us know about the history of this West African country, its struggle towards independence, its suffering during the civil war that followed until it has found its safe passage toward democracy and was ranked this year to have the strongest economy in the African continent.
In the art scene, the Nigerian film industry is known as...
