Manu Delago

Manu Delago is a world-renowned percussionist, hang player and composer. His acoustic percussion instruments merge with electronic rhythms and sounds from our environment. The two-time Grammy-nominated composer and percussionist is collaborating with the vocal ensemble Mad About Lemon for his extraordinary new album "Snow from Yesterday" (One Little Independent Records) and is going on a major European tour together.

The Tyrolean musician regularly works with various artists such as Björk, Anoushka Shankar, The Cinematic Orchestra and Olafur Arnalds and has performed as a soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Metropole Orkest, among others. Having performed in over 50 countries, he has also completed two extensive concert tours by bicycle. On the "ReCycling Tour" in 2021 and 2023, his band and crew played around 20 concerts along a 1400 km cycle route, transporting all their equipment in bicycle trailers.

The new album is dynamic, multi-faceted and powerful. Manu Delago's handpan virtuosity is the rhythmic life force of Snow From Yesterday and creates soulful sounds over which the interwoven vocals of Mad About Lemon can spread. Glacier mountains, rivers and even the smallest drops of water are sung about, and stories are told about journeys and stages in life that connect us with places and people and can have a lasting effect.

Manu Delago is known for his creative and exciting live concerts and will once again demonstrate his cross-genre creativity with a new live show in 2024.
