For the first time at Fasching—and it’s about god damn time!
Anthony Joseph is a poet, musician, and revolutionary storyteller who fuses Caribbean rhythms, jazz’s boundless spirit, and spoken word with raw political fire. His music vibrates with funk, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean influences, each word carrying history, struggle, and identity.
Joseph’s love for rhythm and words was born at house parties in Trinidad, where DJ Champ – his great-aunt’s husband – ran the dance floor with a single turntable, yet somehow, “the music flowed like he was mixing.” That pulse still drives his music today.
Live, he’s pure electricity. With a voice that cuts deep and a band that lifts every phrase to cosmic heights, he crafts a hypnotic mix of groove and poetry. His latest work, Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back, is a journey through lost names, memories, and Afro-Caribbean history.
Don’t miss his Fasching debut – an evening of fire, words, and unforgettable rhythms.
