Klazzbrothers & Cuba Percussion
This multi-award winning quintet is linked by a unique success story, going back to the year 2000 when Klazz Brothers met the Cuban percussionists Alexis Herrera Estevez and Elio Rodrigo Luis during their tour in Cuba. Since that encounter, Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion have caused a worldwide frenzy with their inimitable and creative musical ideas, having sold more than 250.000 albums in Germany alone.
The success story of Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion comes along with a variety of highly acclaimed programmes.“Classic meets Cuba”, “Opera meets Cuba” and “Best of Classic meets Cuba”, are programs from which all titles imply the encounter of West European tradition with Cuban music. In addition to that, the orchestral project “Symphonic Salsa” presents a unique enhancement to acoustic colours on a symphonic dimension.
Up to now seven albums of the quintet have been released with Sony; of these the first album, “Classic Meets Cuba” was awarded the “Echo Klassik” and the “Jazz Award” in 2003 as well as a Grammy nomination in 2005. Even cineastes may be familiar with the music of Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion, as their version of Bach’s “Air” is to be heard in the famous Hollywood movie “Collateral”. Astonishing musical diversity, freshness and an open minded approach.
