MAR MALADE

In the organizer's words:

Songs by Mar Malade are like a vacation in music. Originally born out of an experiment, a little escape from everyday life for two friends, Mar Malade, consisting of Alexander Hauer and Michèl M. Almeida, have already released two albums full of summer and taken their songs on concert tours through Germany, Austria and Switzerland with sold-out concerts in Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and Vienna. Now the touring duo are "spreading out their towels" for the third time and going on a "Fatamorgana" tour in 2025. Mar Malade and their multi-instrumental live band not only present their sometimes energetic, sometimes dancing, sometimes nostalgic music with an irrepressible joy of playing (as only grandma would have allowed as a child, but she's the one who cooks the sticky-sweet jam) - but also one or two curious moments between the songs: the drummer reads the horoscope from the local press and all the ibexes in the audience, Alexander sings the classic hiking song "Hejo, Spann den Wagen an" with the audience because Michèl looped the instrumental for the title track of their second album "Balloon" from it. Every evening of a Mar Malade tour creates its own, well-warmed space full of music, joy and shared moments for and with their audience.
