Harder Than The Rock

Oct 19, 2024, 8.00 PM @ The Yaam

Event language: English

For nearly 30 years, YAAM has been a vibrant hub for underground music, street art, and alternative cultural expressions, nestled in the heart of Berlin's modern cityscape. As a lively, colorful enclave dedicated to social unity, multicultural interactions, art, and music, it's the ideal venue for presenting Harder than the Rock. This film by Warmington chronicles the rise of The Cimarons, Britain’s pioneering reggae band. Though they were instrumental in the genre’s explosion from Jamaica and collaborated with icons like Bob Marley and Paul McCartney, their own music often went underappreciated. The documentary captures their journey as they chase a dream of performing live one final time. The film will be followed by a Q&A session with the director and an afterparty hosted by YAAM. Join us for a thrilling night packed with exciting films, pulsating music, and vibrant culture!
