Brazilian percussion firework
The beats of Quinta Feira and Abacaxí create a highly explosive mixture, which makes you dance immediately. On stage, the two samba bands located in Hamburg/ Germany show a great percussion party.
The joy of the 17 drummers – men and women in their 20s and 30s, some of them joined the band when they were still children – is infectious!
The drummer Robin Fuhrmann (The Lion King) increases the band’s energy with his powerful groove.

Mecha Anzoátegui, Cuerpo y Alma
Not an easy feat, but she has accomplished it successfully! Mecha Anzoátegui presents traditional and well-known Tangos on this CD, giving these frequently interpreted songs a fresh and personal patina with her Alto voice. With her fourth album “Cuerpo y Alma” the singer has given us twelve Tangos and Milongas, accompanied by only two instruments played by the guitarrist César Angeleri and the bandoneon player Pablo Mainetti. Her full and resonant voice brings out the inherent melancholic character of melodies such as those of “Fuimos” and “Nieblas del Riachuelo”. All twelve pieces are wonderful to listen to, especially now during the fall season.

Astor Piazzolla by "Luz y Sombra"
Inspired by their fascination for “Tango Nuevo”, three young musicians founded the group “Luz y Sombra” during their studies at University of Arts Berlin.
With creativity and passion, the trio is since then arranging and performing the multifarious opus of Astor Piazzolla throughout Germany.
Featuring violin, clarinet and piano, the group emerses the audience into the emotional world of Piazzolla’s music, a music full of desire, grief and joie de vivre at the same time.

Trío Central - No False Alert!
Trío Central – Falsa Alarma
First of all: „Falsa Alarma“ (“False Alert”) by Trio Central is simply brillliant and one can only wish for such a false alarm! My favourite pieces are “El Pollo Ricardo” and “Boedo” – the wonderfully playful piano is just ingenious here as well as the replying bandoneon. Or perhaps all of the songs are my favourite pieces?
