Her workshop, “Band Coaching & Songwriting,” focuses on making music together.

Openness, active listening, and collaborative experimentation are at the forefront of the experience.
Musically, Tista has a diverse range of styles. She is particularly influenced by Bongo Flava, a musical style from Tanzania that combines Afrobeat elements with traditional musical influences. She brings this perspective to her workshops, along with her enthusiasm for music and the performing arts.
The workshop is open to anyone who enjoys making music together—regardless of prior experience or musical background.
Following the event, an open-stage event will take place at f*mz starting at 6 p.m. All genders welcome!
Tista (she/her) is from Tanzania and is a musician, songwriter, singer, and bassist. For many years, she has combined her passion for music with her work as a music educator, guiding young people on their musical journeys.

Systemic reflection & new ideas for FLINTA in the music scene
2026-09-26 12:00 - 15:00 | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
Whether behind the mixing desk, on stage, in booking, or organising your very first event:
The music industry demands a lot from us. We often face challenges for which there is no manual – be it dealing with pressure, finding our own role, or navigating complex team structures.
I invite you to join us for a space of shared reflection and fresh inspiration.
In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll use the Reflecting Teams method. We’ll take the time to explore a specific issue raised by the group in depth. The group acts as a sounding board: through listening and reflection, new perspectives emerge that broaden your scope for action – whether you’re currently planning a major festival, working in a collective, or launching your first project.
What we do:
Methodological introduction: A brief introduction to systemic perspectives (how we can understand and change dynamics and entrenched roles).
Deep Dive: We work together on a selected situation from your own practice (approx. 90 mins).
Transfer: We apply the insights to your own everyday life – what can I learn from this for my work and my structures?
The setting: A safe space for FLINTA* individuals from all areas of music. We work confidentially, on an equal footing, and with a focus on whatever is currently standing in your way.

Sina Augustin

Beautiful melodies, poignant lyrics and lots of stories.
Yiddish is a language that is hardly spoken in Europe anymore, yet it is very accessible to German speakers. Kateryna Ostrovska inherited the last bits of this unique culture from her family. As the name “Zingeray” (singing circle) suggests, the focus is on soulful togetherness, exchange, and experiencing one’s own voice in the community.
