Antigua Quartett. Gypsy und Latin Jazz

As an astronaut in space, you look at the earth in its entirety and territorial borders disappear - the quartet also addresses this change of perspective in their music. Crossing genre boundaries, ANTIGUA combines elements of European gypsy jazz with Latin American music. The lyrics, which are sung in German, Portuguese, English and Spanish, deal with primal human themes that are timeless and transcend generational and national boundaries. Retro and hip at the same time, the band led by Elsa Johanna Mohr, who was awarded the New German Jazz Prize in 2023, creates a cozy familiarity and surprises with wit and compositional innovation.
