12.12.2025 CumbiaLab Nr3. at Club Cassiopeia
Singer, accordionist and composer Pascuala Ilabaca and pianist, composer and producer Luciano Laterra present a new show created especially for their European summer tour, with performances in Berlin, Bremen, Kassel and Madrid.
Ilabaca has developed a strong international career as a singer-songwriter, standing out for the breadth of her musical language and her recent projects linked to jazz big band and performing arts. Laterra, for his part, has focused his work on the research of rhythm and piano within contemporary music, articulating collaborations with dance, sound experimentation and audiovisual art.
The concert brings together original compositions performed with piano, voice and electronics, proposing an intimate and dynamic format that explores new textures and relationships between the acoustic and the digital.
The musical proposal crosses contemporary languages with poetic, roots-based sounds, building a repertoire that dialogues between tradition and experimentation, and presents itself as a warm, ritual, current stage experience open to different audiences.
Location: Taller D' Luis - Schlesische Str. 20, 10997 Berlin
Doors: 19:00
Show: 20:00
With your ticket, you support youth and social projects of KulturLab Berlin
But you can choose to support even more!
When purchasing your ticket, you have the option to add a donation of €5 or €10. This directly supports our youth and social initiatives.
Why is this support necessary?
Our projects are at risk.
Due to current government budget cuts, key youth and educational projects of KulturLab Berlin are in serious danger.
In order to continue realizing the International Youth Festival "Future", all planned cultural events, the interdisciplinary arts week, as well as the support of national and international artists, we depend on your help. Please support us in continuing this important work and in securing spaces for young people where they can connect, participate, and unfold their creativity.
Especially in times of rising authoritarian movements, it is more important than ever to actively strengthen democratic values. With your support, you make a concrete contribution to this.
Together, we can shape the future.
Events at KulturLab Berlin
Our events are not just for entertainment - they are a central part of our mission. All proceeds from our events go directly to funding our diverse projects that aim to empower young people in their personal, creative and social development.
Why is this important?
Our projects such as workshops, festivals and educational offerings require sustainable and diverse funding opportunities in order to be able to operate independently and in the long term. The funds from our events enable us to respond flexibly and purposefully to the needs of young people and to implement projects with social and cultural added value. Every visit to one of our events therefore supports the direct support of children and young people.
Youth Strong Against the Right – An Event Series for Education and Critical Thinking
“Youth against the Right” is our response to the increasing spread of right-wing extremist ideas. This series of events aims to raise funds for projects that promote political education and critical thinking.
At a time when misinformation, hate speech and manipulative content are becoming more prevalent on social media, it is more important than ever to give young people and children the tools to address these challenges.
Our projects under the umbrella of “Youth against the Right” teach young people how to:
-
Recognize right-wing extremist propaganda and be able to critically engage with it.
-
Identify and question manipulation in social media.
-
Take a clear and strong stance for democracy, diversity and respect.
With these events we are sending a clear message against hate and intolerance - and for an open, democratic society. Every contribution to this series of events not only strengthens young people, but also the social foundation of our future.
What is CumbiaLab?
CumbiaLab – The Laboratory for Latin American Pop and Cumbia Music
CumbiaLab is a regularly held event series that functions as a creative laboratory for contemporary Latin American music. Its main focus is to explore and expand the sonic boundaries of cumbia, Latin pop, and urban rhythms.
Musicians from Berlin’s Latin and pop scene come together to chart new musical paths, blending traditional influences with modern sounds and developing innovative musical concepts. The result is a space for encounter, cultural diversity, and musical experimentation – vibrant, danceable, and always surprising.
Each event also invites small gastronomic entrepreneurs from Berlin who offer authentic culinary products from different Latin American countries. In this way, every CumbiaLab becomes a cultural journey through the diversity of Latin America, uniting music, flavor, and community.
All proceeds from the events go toward supporting the educational programs of KulturLab Berlin, fostering creative participation and cultural education for young people.
