              Concert Series in the Lottstetter Engelscheune

              Written on .

              Pata Pata was danced on Saturday in the Engelscheune, where the famous innkeeper and freedom fighter Josef Weißhaar once kept the horses. Justina Lee Brown opened a top-class concert series with a brilliant concert, which Helena Günther is offering in her newly opened Café-Bar Baileyni.

              Numerous visitors quickly filled the restaurant and realized that the amiable Justina has music and rhythm in her blood. The Blues Queen also expressed visual elegance in the black mini shiny overalls, fishnet stockings and high heels. In her performance, every movement fit the beat and she quickly created a great atmosphere. Every visitor somehow kept up with the beat, even the nimble service staff danced and rocked behind the counter to the rhythms of funk, soul and blues.

              “No Woman no Cry” or “The Lion sleeps tonight” were just a few of the numerous musical highlights. With “Pata Pata” the African joie de vivre spilled over onto the “pale faces”, who were completely over the moon. “She has a tsunami voice,” shouted a compatriot of the singer into the microphone, who came from Zurich and gave a spontaneous singing performance himself. “That’s my music, I’ve never heard anything better in Lottstetten,” enthused Fredi Nussbaum from Lottstetten.

              All About it

              Justina was accompanied accordingly by top-class concert musicians. Guitarist Jay Gogan lived and played in New York for over 30 years, the Swiss bassist and sound engineer Thomas Wettstein came from Munich. Lorenz Hunziker Rutigliano from Basel, who has already shared the stage with Pepe Lienhard, Thomas D. and Hartmut Engler, whirled on the drums. Although the Baileyni is open until 4am on weekends, the music stopped just before midnight. “Out of consideration for the neighborhood,” stressed Helena Günther. During the subsequent social get-together, the guests learned a lot about the artists. Justina’s manager Jack Klaey explained that there was no more money to be made with sound carriers and the artists had to go back on stage. Justina mainly plays at open air festivals and in clubs.

              “Justina had a great performance with me five years ago and we’ve been friends ever since,” said Helena Günther, who used to run several music bars in Zurich. Due to its popularity in the Zurich scene, many visitors came from the smallest cosmopolitan city. The former DJ “Joe” Zechner is happy that there is again a venue in Lottstetten where such concerts take place. “In the last few years it has been very meager in this regard, I hope that the locals will also accept this offer,” says Zechner. In October, “Ladyva”, one of the best Boogie Woogie piano players, will be making a guest appearance in Lottstetten. She is accompanied by her brother, singer Pascal Silva, known from television.
