Ausverkauft | DOPPELKONZERT: Ray Lozano. Soul-Pop // Salomea. Jazz-Electronica

In the organizer's words:

Ray Lozano is a singer, bassist, saxophonist and pianist. Her innovative and forward-looking soul sound is somewhere between indie, low-fidelity pop and hip-hop. The Cologne-based singer-songwriter with German-Filipino roots released her highly acclaimed debut album "Pairing Mode" during the coronavirus pandemic, on which no song is longer than 100 seconds and leaves listeners hungry for more. "13 songs. 14 minutes. Detailed, loving, confusingly short. Radically reduced, soulful and experimental pop", said WDR 3. Der SPIEGEL was also enthusiastic about her "songs produced with zeitgeisty electronic stylistic elements and a lot of atmospheric glitch aesthetics". For Ray, the central motif of the album is "Aloneness": "For me, that doesn't necessarily mean loneliness, but a form of celebrated aloneness with oneself." At the heart of the songs, full of delicate and dreamy melancholy, is Ray's memorable, vulnerable and warm voice.

The German-American singer, composer, lyricist and instrumentalist Rebekka Salomea and her top-class band inspire with a unique, modern jazz-electronica sound and rousing live shows. Their songs are a dazzling mix of triphop, jazz, R'n'B and electronic music, with Salomea's laid-back yet expressive voice at the heart of it all. Musikexpress aptly wrote: "For them, jazz is not a genre, but the lowest common denominator." The Cologne-based quartet has already played on some of the most renowned festival stages, including Elbjazz, Avignon Jazz Festival, CO POP, Moers Festival, Fusion and Waves Vienna. Salomea was nominated for the 2021 German Jazz Award and is considered one of the most important young female jazz musicians in Germany. She has been a lecturer in jazz and pop singing at the Cologne University of Music and Dance since 2020. The extremely productive formation has released several singles and EPs in recent years, and a tour with a new album is scheduled for fall 2024.
