“Luxus” is the Wolof word for magic. Luxus Live proceeds from the premise that magical transformation is a core action of music culture – the flashpoint at which sound becomes intellect, sensation, and movement; the simple “ah-ha” moment when a rhythm finally clicks out of the either or when an audience and performer mutually surrender. Luxus Live strives to activate this “living magic” as a vehicle for boundless cultural alchemy.
Luxus Live aims to have a global reach and has successfully executed tours and artist engagements in the following territories and counting:
USA, Canada, Algeria, Egypt, UAE, Lebanon, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, UK, Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Macedonia, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands.
