Christmas meets Cuba: Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion at the Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

Get in the mood for Christmas with this unique fusion and experience an unprecedented combination of classical music tradition and the passionate energy of Latin American sounds.

Since 1999 the 'Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion' stand for a refreshing and innovative fusion of classical music with jazz and world music. With their new program 'Christmas meets Cuba' the five musicians continue the successful album released in 2010: International and German Christmas carols are brought to new musical life! With a mixture of jazz swing and Latin feeling, temperamental joie de vivre, Cuban serenity and atmospheric melancholy, the musicians will bring out classics such as 'Silent Night', 'White Christmas', 'Feliz Navidad', George Michael's 'Last Christmas', Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' or Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas' in a new guise. With wit, tempo and fire they discover the European‐African roots of tango and Cuban music as well as their transformation into the traditionally thrilling music of South America and Cuba. World‐famous Christmas melodies are paired with the temperament of Cuban rhythms, bringing Latin grooves and Christmas atmosphere from the Sugar Island directly to Berlin.
