YƐ BƆ NWOM

Felix Meritis, Friday, August 21 at 07:30 PM GMT+2

After a sold-out edition, we’re back with another edition of our high-energy concept YƐ BƆ NWOM (“We Play Music” in Twi). Known for our DJ battles featuring some of the finest DJs from the scene, YƐ BƆ NWOM returns with a night packed with the best Afrobeats, Amapiano, and R&B tunes, games and much more. This one is for the 80’s babies, 90’s kids and the 2000’s generation, designed for people who want more than “just another night out.”

You might knoww Ye Bo Game from their legendary social game nights, and L’ORIGINE as Amsterdam’s culture-driven brand blending music, fashion and community into one powerful lifestyle identity. With YƐ BƆ Nwom, they transform our beloved Shaffyzaal into a rhytmic playground. At the heart of the night is the DJ Battle Arena, where two DJs go head-to-head in interactive themed rounds. Expect live challenges, unexpected genre flips, and spontaneous dance-offs. Most importantly: you, the crowd, decide the outcome.

Need a breather? Head upstairs to the Game Lounge for classic games, perfect for anyone who wants to switch up the tempo, connect, and recharge while still overseeing the action below.

Timetable to be revealed soon!

YE BO GAME
Ye Bo Game is a unique experience, founded by seven friends and family from Amsterdam’s Bijlmer neighborhood, the name comes from Twi, Ghana’s widely spoken language, and means “We Play the Game.” As a collective, Ye Bo Game brings people together through board games, card games, digital games, and XL-classics. Their inclusive events, welcoming all ages and backgrounds, create lively and playful spaces in Amsterdam and Rotterdam where everyone can connect and have fun.

The collective is powered by a team of creatives, including DJ Brightson, spinning Afrobeats, Afro House, Hip Hop, and Pop, and MC Dele Wele, who keeps the energy alive. Together, they turn every game session into a festive, unforgettable experience.

Ronis Goliath

Paradiso, Saturday, November 28 at 10:00 PM GMT+1

Afropop from a Cameroonian artist based in Berlin

From street performances in Berlin to major festival stages across Europe: Ronis Goliath knows how to win over audiences wherever he goes. The Cameroon-born, Berlin-based artist combines Afrobeats, dancehall, R&B and pop, winning hearts far beyond the boundaries of genres, languages and cultures. His music sounds warm and melodic, with a laid-back groove, soulful vocals and personal stories about identity, love and connection, bridging the gap between his African roots and life in Europe.

Following support slots for Peter Fox, Rag’n’Bone Man and Kota the Friend, and appearances at festivals such as Lollapalooza Berlin, Ronis Goliath continues his rise with his second EP ‘The Game’, due out this year. On this new record, he builds further on his signature blend of Afropop, establishing himself as one of the most striking new voices within the genre.
