Nyege Nyege x Bongo Joe x La Gravière - Day 1: Catu Diosis + Masaka Masaka + Imsobaby
→ 𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍 CATU DIOSIS [Nyege Nyege / UG] MASAKA MASAKA [Nyege Nyege / UG] IMSOBABY [CH] Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August 2026: La Gravière is teaming up with Bongo Joe for an exceptional weekend in collaboration with Nyege Nyege! If you’re not already familiar with it, 𝐍𝐲𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐍𝐲𝐞𝐠𝐞 is the name of an artists’ collective from Kampala, Uganda, which over time has also become a record label (Nyege Nyege Tapes), a festival (Nyege Nyege Fest), as well as a studio and a residency programme: it’s undoubtedly one of the most exciting and incredible artistic projects of the last two decades. In Luganda, Nyege Nyege describes a sudden, uncontrollable urge to move, shake or dance : you’ve been warned! *** What better way to kick off this weekend than by welcoming one of the founding members of the Nyege Nyege collective, 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐃𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬! A Ugandan DJ, producer, rapper and dancer, Catu Diosis crafts hypnotic sets with powerful basslines that seamlessly blend Afro house, kuduro, batida and underground club sounds from across the Global South. Her explosive performances across the globe – from Berghain to Contra – have established her as one of the most influential figures in African electronic music. Joining her is Kampala-based DJ and producer 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐚, known for his immersive, emotionally charged soundscapes that blend experimental club music, ambient textures and deconstructed rhythms, as exemplified in particular by his highly acclaimed project ‘Barely Making Much’. Expect an exploratory and unpredictable set blending experimental tracks and club bangers. 𝐈𝐦𝐬𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 rounds off the line-up with a set blending the rhythms of the African diaspora – from batida to gqom, via coupé-décalé, techno and hip hop – with club textures, creating soundscapes that invite movement, liberation and reminiscence.
