Christmas meets Cuba
Berlin, Philharmonie Berlin — Kammermusiksaal
About the Event
With the new program 'Christmas meets Cuba', Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion bring international and German Christmas carols to new life. World‐famous Christmas melodies paired with the temperament of Cuban rhythms and sensual jazz harmonies bring Christmas spirit to the sugar island and Latin grooves to European Christmas parlors and concert halls. No matter whether you prefer a wintry Christmas or Caribbean temperatures: Christmas meets Cuba combines both! Christmas contemplation with Cuban joie de vivre, 'Jingle Bells' with sweaty salsa grooves and 'Silent Night' with Cuban melancholy. No sooner do you think you know where the journey is headed than new doors and impressions open up again musical surprises as a creative Advent calendar! Christmas is the festival of joy worldwide. However, the forms of expression vary from country to country, from culture to culture. Contemplative Christmas in the cozy living room, Christmas carnival in the Caribbean and the big Cuban Christmas table with family and friends at 'Moros Y Christianos'. Christmas meets Cuba combines these Christmas traditions and customs in a unique way. Latin feeling, spirited joie de vivre, Cuban serenity and melancholy — in the unique combination with classical European musical tradition, Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion create a new, very own Christmas world: 'Jauchzet, frohlocket' — with Salsa, Merengue and Son.
