Bacana

Booking Agency

About Me

Bacana is a France based international Booking agency which has originally been founded in 1997 in Berlin from where the agency has been operating the first years. Berlin..s cosmopolite spirit with it..s open mindness towards World-Music such as it..s strong culture for Urban music sharpened Bacana..s profile and let it grow fastly to a renowned and well respected company within the European music scene.
Bacana has been and is currently representing a quite diverse range of artists. From the Brazilian Samba big-band Orquestra Imperial through Jazz hero Marcos Valle, Soul classics Incognito to Dance music pioneer Louie Vega. Quality music has always been one of the main criteria in Bacana..s artistic choice, regardless of the band..s musical background. Bacana is nowadays acting all over the world, booking preferably European tours and specialized in the French and German speaking markets.

SUSANA BACA JOINS SMALL PLACES TOUR
Amnesty International marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the ‘Small Places Tour’. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s call for ‘concerted citizen action’ in her famous “small places” speech in 1958, musicians and fans will raise their voices in song and action in venues, cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces. Through hundreds of concerts held around the world, we will draw attention to urgent human rights concerns, recruit thousands of new human rights activists and, hopefully, raise much needed funds for Amnesty campaigns. The tour is running from the 10th of September to 10th of December 2008.Amnesty’s 2008 priority campaigns include working to stop violence against women, stopping torture, ending the killing in Darfur, controlling small arms, demanding the closure of Guantánamo, challenging China’s human rights record including its actions in Tibet and working for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners in Burma.
