The party promises to be a night filled with illustrious guests, including Thelma Buabeng, Megaloh, Tarik Tesfu, Benito Bause, Sarah Lasaki, and many more. Expect some surprises, too!
Back in 2014, Celina made her mark with her acoustic debut album, “Zu Fuss”. With hits like “Religion” (with over 600,000 streams on Spotify) and “Papa,” she fearlessly challenged the melancholic singer-songwriter scene with her uplifting lyrics and a touch of danceable sarcasm. The Tagesspiegel described her unique sound as “campfire soul with a high entertainment factor.”
Celina has already graced more than 150 live shows as the opening act for big names like Andreas Bourani, Judith Holofernes, and Sarah Connor. She has also contributed her melodic talents as a background singer for Herbert Grönemeyer, Max Herre, Udo Lindenberg, and as a key member of the Farin Urlaub Racing Team. Armed with just her guitar and loop station, Celina traveled across the country, leaving audiences enthralled. However, there came a quiet period in her career, as she focused on motherhood and personal growth.
Everything changed in 2020 with the release of Celina’s anti-racism anthem, “Nie wieder leise”, shortly after the tragic death of George Floyd. “This song could become the new ‘Black Lives Matter’ anthem,” said now.de. The song’s powerful music video, featuring over 40 black celebrities such as Samy Deluxe, Nura, and Teddy Teclebrhan, was nominated for the prestigious “Listen to Berlin” Award and has garnered over 72,500 views on YouTube. The impact of “Nie wieder leise” on the German media landscape revealed two fundamental truths to Celina: firstly, addressing uncomfortable yet socially relevant topics in music doesn’t have to be boring, and secondly, by uniting with like-minded individuals, she has the power to change the world. “Nie wieder leise” became Celina’s mantra, both in her personal life and the songs she began to write.
In her single, “After-Baby-Body”, Celina shares her poignant experience of the traumatic changes her body went through after childbirth, while “Schlechter Tag” celebrates her bad mood alongside her besties, Thelma Buabeng and Jen Bender. With a suitable neon-colored look, Celina defiantly declares that being quiet is a thing of the past. Similarly, her third single, “Die Resilienz”, resonates with the current times, as it was released on the very weekend the far-right political party, AFD, secured its first district administrator position. The song has become an anthem for all those seeking strength after facing adversity. Anyone who listens to this song will feel empowered, motivated to sing, and inspired to make a difference. Celina concludes the track by proclaiming, “We are resilience,” capturing the essence of unity and community that serves as a recurring theme throughout the entire album.
Celina’s distinctive choir arrangements and her beloved body percussion add depth and uniqueness to all the songs. For Celina, music is not just something you listen to—it is something you experience with your whole body. Clapping and stomping, giving space to both anger and joy, feels right and essential. This further defines the album’s unique sound.
True to her commitment to collaboration and community, Celina also embraces live performances with like-minded activists such as Gianni Jovanovic, authors like Tupoka Ogette, and actors like Thelma Buabeng. Together, they create exceptional live experiences. Whether it’s readings at the Gorki Theater, talks at the Elbphilharmonie, comedy music shows at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, or an orchestral performance at the Brandenburger Tor, Celina’s music feels like the reassuring embrace of a dear friend when your world is turned upside down. It’s the epitome of empower-pop! And this spirit is palpable throughout the entire album, with the voices of Celina’s friends accompanying her on this unique musical journey. Brace yourselves, as Celina Bostic’s new album will undoubtedly move you in more ways than one!
