Die Fabrik

New ground for neo-soul: singer NI-KA and pianist Jona Heckmann are launching SOIL - a concert series for anyone who wants more than the usual. Once a month, the excellent-sounding concert hall of the Bonifatiuskirche is transformed into a place where genre boundaries dissolve and a common pulse emerges. Each edition brings in new guest artists and combines their influences with the energy of the up-and-coming Frankfurt scene. The sound of SOIL moves between neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz and experimental music. NI-KA, who is considered the most exciting newcomer in her genre, combines elegant soul melodies with urban depth in her music. She has been living in Frankfurt for six years and has been shaping the city's stage landscape with her unmistakable style for three years. Her musical companion Jona Heckmann, jazz pianist, arranger and composer, is the founder of the Urban Art Orchestra - a formation consisting of a rhythm section, brass section and string quartet. Together, they created a unique sound on NI-Ka's debut album "Anni" and are now set to create something new.

Orta combines Conscious Pop with German lyrics as well as NUJazz and Neo-Soul to create an independent sound and thus sets new impulses in the music scene. The artist, who grew up in Hanau, stands for uncompromising, detailed compositions and socially critical content without kitsch. Influenced by jazz, hip-hop and current UK sounds, he creates multi-layered harmonies and narrative depth. Musical diversity and surprising twists and turns make the concert an intense experience for audiences interested in culture and music.
