Just in time for the country’s 150th birthday, Reeperbahn Festival chose Canada as their 2017 feature country. In addition to the great Canadian talent we checked out at the pre-festival showcase in Berlin and the Reeperbahn Festival train, a variety of Canadian artists performed at Kukuun, which was transformed into the ‘Canada House’ for the duration of the festival.
