Carlos Bica

DIGIPACK EDITION

The «romantic» and especially melodic approach of Carlos Bica, who draws on jazz, classical music and the popular tradition of Portugal; the elegant and very free speech of Daniel Erdmann, built on the jazz tradition but committed to finding new paths; the many colors summoned by DJ Illvibe (Vincent von Schlippenbach), a prospector looking for the craziest fragments of sounds; the fascinating musicality of João Barradas, one of the most highly regarded and recognized European accordionists, capable of embracing the most diverse musical languages — this is the unusual cast that sets out to rediscover Beethoven’s legacy.
