Poetry from different cultures tell of longing, courage and personal paths. Music by Afi Sika Kuzeawu, a Swiss Togolese double bass player, singer, composer and dancer.

December 1, 2024, 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., Reformed Church, Friedhofweg 26, 4414 Füllinsdorf. Followed by an aperitif for everyone.

In this service on the first day of Advent, the first light on the Advent wreath is lit for all people who are committed to helping others: for more hope and joy, solidarity and justice. Encouraging commitment worldwide, for example in Tanzania, becomes visible. Inner worlds also become audible through the lyrical singing of Togolese singer and double bassist Afi Sika Kuzeawu.

Afi Sika Kuzeawu, who grew up in a musical environment in Togo, is influenced by traditional West African music and Ewe dance, the Congolese Kwasakwasa rhythm and Caribbean-Creole music styles. Her repertoire also includes classical music and Afro-American music. She studied jazz at the Bern University of the Arts as well as economics and psychology. Her own compositions are influenced by her West African roots, her strong creativity in rhythms and her sensitivity for fine-voiced jazz harmonies.
