Sanka Soundsystem (NL)
Artist
Many events led to the genesis of Sanka Soundsystem late 2013. The main
ingredients being the love for booty-shaking music, the movie Cool
Runnings and a mission to better the world. This through the vision is
that music is the universal language of mankind and brings unity, peace,
love and happiness to the world. This is something you definitely
recognize in the Dancehall, Hiphop and R&b focused selections. The love
for positive music grew in his early childhood. Sanka grew up in the
South-Eastern side of Amsterdam, also known as the Bijlmer. Because the
neighborhood was a bit rough and it looked like he was about to choose
the wrong path in life, he was sent to Lhasa in Tibet when he was about
4 years old. There he attended an exchange program at the Dalai Lama
Daycare where he mainly received spiritual classes and learned about
Buddhistic, Hinduïstic, Rastafari, and Ancient cultures.
Sanka is now a law student at the University of Amsterdam and strongly
believes in two basic principles: 1) Time is relative. 2) The journey is
always more relevant than the destination. You might’ve heard Sanka at
World Expo Milan ’16, Bungalup ’15 ’16, Amsterdam Open Air ’17 '18,
Mysteryland ’17 '18, Solar Festival ’16 ’17 '18, Kermis Roelofarendsveen
or one of the many Dutch clubnights between Pieterburen and Sint
Pietersberg. Upcoming January 2019 an Caribbean tour is on the agenda!
