Music & Poetry Basket was started in Vienna, Austria by Isabella Schrammel, in 2010, as a monthly event inspired by her experiences with the Spoken Word/Jazz scene she witnessed in New York City. Initially, she showcased one international spoken word artist and featured one band. The feedback and success of these events were the catalyst for the decision to develop Music & Poetry Basket as a non-profit cultural collective leading to the venture of affiliated associations: Klub Bahö! an Open Textstage, and the initiative , which provides a platform, program development, cultural exchanges, and economic opportunities between Cuban and Austrian artists. Inviting artists to join the collective and showcase their art, encouraging patrons to come and take part!
