Jazz Spring 2025

Part 1: Lehmanns Brothers (Fra)

"Playground" is a stroll through all the aesthetics that have shaped the Lehmanns Brothers over the years. Nothing is taboo. And that is undoubtedly what this work is about.
Carried by a hip-hop universe, the Lehmanns Brothers gently collide worlds by applying rap to their productions, which are tinged with house, soul and delicate funk.
The album Playground is a return to their roots, a feeling of being at home, a deep need to reconnect with the exploration of sounds, words, rhythms and notes. Playground is uncompromising music and the result of an open camaraderie. They experiment, but above all they have fun. "Brighter days" reminds us of the differences between cultures and takes us back to the energy of the Lehmanns.

For the Lehmanns Brothers from France, sitting still is impossible! Their emotional groove fuses jazz chords with elements of hip-hop, nu-soul, house, funk and afro-beat.

Part 2: Tanga Elektra & Special Guest

An electro-acoustic free style band from Berlin. Two brothers who are characterized by their passion for spontaneously improvised arrangements and irresistible grooves.
TE have been performing all over Germany since 2009, but also internationally in many European countries, in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, England, Norway and even overseas. A few years ago, they won 1st place in the 'Music' category at the "FRITZ Radio Night of Talents" at the Admiralspalast in Berlin.
Tanga Elektra's unique live set-up makes them innovators. David's violin uses guitar effects to filter rhythmic pizzicato melodies, generate thick bass lines and create lush string arrangements; a loop station at the end of the chain captures the individual elements of the song live. His dynamic soul-funk voice fizzes unerringly like Armor's arrow straight into the listener's mind. Elias' drums provide the irresistible kick that instantly sets everything around him in motion, while he also loves to spontaneously euphorize the audience with his rap alter ego 'Boy DADA'.

This time Tangs Elektra comes to Neubrandenburg with special guest Christoph Klan on saxophone. He is a multi-instrumentalist and member of various band constellations, e.g. "Timerag", "Die Railers" and "englerklan".

Violin techno? Drum'N'Violin? NewSoul? TANGA FUNK!
