All Reggae and street culture loving people who came across Berlin should already know a place called
YAAM next to the Spree river and East Side Gallery. Colorful graffiti and street art is decorating the old industrial brick building. Yaamaica Republic is like a downtown oasis in concrete Berlin jungle. You can just hang around at the beach and listen to some deejays juggeling or play streetball, beach volleyball, soccer, kiss the miniramp. For the thirsty and hungry ones who come after work they serve good african dish and orrriginal Jamaican jerk. Plus whole heap of different drinks best enjoyed at the Cool Runnings bar...
Since 1997 (before it was placed in a different location / Cuvrystr) it has evolved to the biggest and most exciting location in terms of Reggae/Dancehall/HipHop and many many more different bashments in town. The biggest artists in any kind of Bass business have shared their indoor and outdoor stage and annually a big festival is taking place during
Karneval der Kulturen.
Now it's up to us to make history and
SIGN the ONLINE PETITION in order to keep YAAM alive!
They are facing troubles since quiet a while due to the Mediaspree projects who want to transform the whole lovely riverbank into a big corporate enterprise complex. People stood up and kept on fighting against this monster of predatory capitalism. Demonstrations and rallies out in the streets could still not frighten those commercial estate sharks from trying to invest in this beautiful property...
So please family, help to keep this unique art&culture&sports location alive! It is a very family-friendly place offering awesome programs for the young & the old, the rich & the poor - a peaceful place where TOLERANCE is written in big letters and all kinds of people are treated with respect.
So again, my last call, please
SIGN the ONLINE PETITION!!! It's not much effort and it could move mountains...
Also
like their FB fan page if you wanna to stay updated about the progress...
