Manu Delago

Manu Delago is known for his creative and exciting live concerts, with which he popularized the percussion instrument handpan, which is inspired by the 1930s steel drum from Trinidad, among other things. On his tour, the percussion virtuoso, who regularly collaborates with top international acts such as Björk, Anoushka Shankar and Olafur Arnalds, will be performing at HELLERAU with the three singers from Mad About Lemon and Clemens Rofner on bass and synthesizer.

The program is dynamic, spherical and powerful. Manu Delago’s handpan virtuosity creates soulful sounds over which the singers’ interwoven Manu Delago feat Mad About Lemon 06.06.2025 concert vocals can spread out. The music travels across endless oceanic expanses and millennia, telling stories that attempt to see us humans as part of a larger whole. Glacier mountains, rivers and even the smallest drops of water are sung about, telling of journeys and stages in life that connect us with places and people and can have a lasting effect.
