West African rhythms meet Chiemgau - an evening full of pulse, voice, and tonal colors

On Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 8:00 PM, Ibou Kalaama and Wolfgang 'Woody' Klausner will unfold a concert experience between roots, jazz, and contemporary world music at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein. In the unique acoustics of the former monastery church, gourd and percussion grooves merge with singing, improvisation, and finely crafted sound architecture.

Live atmosphere: proximity, dynamics, goosebumps

The historic monastery church offers warm, transparent acoustics - ideal for the organic orchestration of voice, gourd, and percussion. Delicate overtones linger in the space while driving patterns elevate the audience's mood. Light and spatial depth create an intimate stage where every breath remains audible.

Musical dialogue: groove, color, form

Ibou Kalaama - appreciated in Germany for his charismatic stage performance at intercultural programs and festivals - combines Senegalese-infused melodies with polyrhythmic synchronization. Accompanying him, drummer and percussion specialist Wolfgang 'Woody' Klausner from Chiemgau ensures a finely nuanced sound, precise time feel, and tonal expansiveness. Thus, a dialogue emerges that breathes tradition while sounding modern.

Expertise on stage: timing, tone, and texture

Carefully listened dynamics, clear form parts, and tonal balance characterize the evening. The setlist spans a range of meditative soundscapes to energetic uptempo passages - leaving room for solos, call-and-response, and improvisational highlights. The stage performance remains song-serving: no effect without feeling, no virtuosity without narration.

Context and recognition

Ibou Kalaama recently delighted audiences at a West Africa focus in the KunstMuseum Donau-Ries with his voice and gourd playing; local media highlighted the captivating impact of his live shows. Klausner is regarded as a skilled coach, recording specialist, and live drummer from the Traunstein district - anchored in the scene between Munich and Salzburg.
