Durchlüften Main Act

Kichwa-Elektro-Duo "Jatun Mama" aus den ecuadorianischen Anden

On four summer weekends, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Humboldt Forum’s  Schlüterhof  into a free open-air meeting place where musical traditions from across the globe unfold as living cultural archives.  

5 years open. Already 5 years DURCHLÜFTEN. For the sixth time now, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Schlüterhof courtyard of Berlin’s Humboldt Forum into a vibrant open-air stage for global music, cultural dialogue, and shared experience. From 9 July to 1 August 2026, across four summer weekends, the festival presents 24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world. Each evening features two concerts followed by a DJ set, creating twelve nights of musical discovery, movement, and encounter in the heart of Berlin — once again with free entry for all.  

Jatun Mama is a Kichwa electronic duo from the Ecuadorian Andes that weaves ancestral cosmology into a hypnotic blend of cumbia-tinged rhythms, bittersweet Andean strings, and deep electronic textures. Formed in 2023 in the Kichwa commune of Turuku in Cotacachi–Imbabura, the project is led by producer Jesús Bonilla, who reimagines ritual music and traditional Andean instruments through contemporary sound design—channeling the energy of ceremony and celebration into the

club and beyond.

Their debut album URA UKU (2025), produced within the community-based ANTA Records studio in the Andes and released with Berlin’s Eck Echo Records, explores Indigenous cosmology across atmospheric soundscapes and pulsing beats. Following their first European tour in 2024, Jatun Mama continues to carry the strength of Kichwa culture into new global contexts, embodying a powerful re-signification of ancestral sound in contemporary Indigenous music.
