Juliana Blumenschein

"Constelação Feminina"

Which voices touch and inspire us? The German-Brazilian singer and musician Juliana Blumenschein loves songs full of joie de vivre and poetry, resistance and solidarity. With great intensity and sensitivity, she connects with the diverse varieties of jazz and Brazilian music, with samba, bossa nova, baião and ixejá. She interprets and improvises. And above all, she sings her own songs. Carried by her warm voice and the exciting sound of her band.

On her new album "Constelação Feminina", Juliana spans a wonderful arc from music history to the present day. "Constelação Feminina" is a tribute to the works of Brazilian female composers of the past 130 years. To icons such as Chiquinha Gonzaga and Dona Ivone Lara. The album is imbued with the energy of these women, which Juliana brings into the present day with her arrangements.

Juliana Blumenschein has also created new songs that carry on this creative charisma. She worked together with friends who are established artists on the music scene in Salvador da Bahia. And she wrote solo for herself. This resulted in her "Constelação Feminina", her constellation of the feminine.

Juliana has created a concept album in which she subtly explores history, community and emotional worlds. Juliana puts all these emotions, the depth and euphoria, the gentle doubts and the burgeoning hope into her music, especially live.

She has already performed with her quintet across the country in clubs, theaters and at festivals - from Bamberg to Berlin, from Weimar to Cologne. "I love the variety on stage. I like to give the audience good vibes," says Juliana. "And there can also be a touch of heaviness in between. My aim is for people to feel something." And they absolutely do. Music that makes you permeable in the best sense of the word. Open to beauty, dance, togetherness - and to yourself.
