Keroxen 2026 – September 12

Nina Ndiaye + Inés Sybille, the tropical underground project Usted alongside artist Oliver Behrmann, British explorers from the collective Gnod, and Asian combo Takkak Takkak — the third of Festival Keroxen's dates in September 2026. Tickets, info and passes here Festival Africamía presents the artistic residency 'Ecos' at Keroxen — a process bringing together DJ Vina Ndiaye (Senegal) and dancer Inès Sybille (Barcelona/Haiti/Lisbon) under the direction of Sara Maurin Kane. A bridge between continents and cultures, where African sound, Caribbean movement, textile arts and audiovisual work converge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, exploring the richness of traditions and their contemporary evolution. Roberto Miranda is not just Usted: now, in trio format, he is part of a divisible whole. His underground pachanga of visceral tropical rock keeps leaving audiences speechless on the dance floor. From funk to merengue, alternative pop to cumbia metal, this Canarian performer and his band navigate between good and bad moods in shows where comedy may not be what it seems, and what's funny can challenge you with a seriousness delivered with extraordinary musical talent. Oliver Behrmann is a visual artist working across performance, installation and video art. He began in the 1990s in Madrid as a skateboard photographer connected to underground scenes, and in 2002 studied Fine Arts in Tenerife, specialising in contemporary creation. His work — visually colourful and striking — addresses tragic themes such as catastrophes, accidents, death and fear with irony, revealing a tension between aesthetic appearance and critical content. Video Glitch Lab is an ongoing experimental video laboratory focused on the aesthetics of error through obsolete or modified technology. Since 2020 it has incorporated influences such as glitch-art, vaporwave and relational-art, sharing space with the Asociación Cultural El Sótano Analógico in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Somewhere between noise and psychedelia, the Manchester collective arrives at Keroxen with the energy of those who want to bring the Tanque crashing down. Rock without roll, distortion without fear of feedback. Sometimes they sound as punk as they do stoner; other times so violently sublime they leave you frozen — as if metal exploded in your face and then someone had to pick out the shrapnel. An overwhelming experience you might wish hurt more, but for some reason you enjoy. Facing Takkak Takkak is like watching a sunset: you can sense what's coming, but it always surprises you. Don't expect a polyrhythm without something to complement it, or a good riff that doesn't end up self-destructing. Takkak Takkak hacked your mind long before their music even started. Dance sounds for a sensory micro-disco featuring patterns of traditional Asian music, vocal howls and grounded loops — but nothing erratic. A complex fusion with a thunderous and surprisingly flawless result.
