Cinema Tribuna: "Oy -World wide we tour" in Ilanz

First the world moved closer together, then the borders were raised again. That's the bad news. But the good news is that OY don't play the game.

Singer/keyboardist Joy Frempong and producer/drummer Melodydreamer have been making music across musical, linguistic and cultural boundaries for a decade. The Berlin-based duo with roots in Ghana and Switzerland inspires on stages all over the world, be it at festivals such as Eurockéenes in France, Rec Beat in Brazil or in club shows in downtown Cairo and New York. In 2022, they toured Europe with the Colombian band Bomba Estéreo as a support act. So it's only logical that the title of their current album »World Wide We« is »From electronica, Afrobeats, avant-pop to hip-hop, trap and jazz – OY's music is more versatile and consistent, stylistically more open and self-contained than ever. » "World Wide We" is an open invitation to all those who want to dance all clichés into the ground at the duo's celebrated concerts.
