MELTING POT — the Hamburg live-music series, shown at Fabrik Hamburg. An original music format by The Effing Empire.

MELTING POT is an original live-music format developed by Anri Coza for The Effing Empire, with 25 editions produced in Hamburg between 2011 and 2022.
 

Each edition brought together unexpected artist pairings, changing venues and different musical worlds — built around discovery, contrast and the chemistry of a shared evening.

Why MELTING POT: a Hamburg live-music concept created to bring different artists, genres and audiences together in unexpected combinations.
