Mina Richman

The solidarity song "Baba Said" suddenly went viral during the revolution in Iran and enabled her to make a contribution to the fight for freedom and human rights with her music. She sees combining activism with music as a duty and a necessity.

In her debut album, which was released on March 15, 2024 via the Ladies&Ladys label, Mina Richman confronts growing up. She returns to her childhood with a great deal of honesty and deals with quarrelling parents, cultural uprooting and the social and personal treatment of her body. Together with her band, Friedrich Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Alexander Mau and Leon Brames and producer Tobias Siebert (Juli, Enno Bunger), she has developed a versatile sound inspired by soul and blues classics and modern folk and hip-hop productions. Named album of the week by DLF Kultur and FluxFM, she played a Germany-wide headlining tour in March/April 24 and performed at Orange Blossom Special, Traumzeit and Fusion Festival, among others, before appearing outside Germany for the first time at Waves Vienna Festival and again at Reeperbahn Festival in September. She has also been nominated for the PopNRW Award in the "Outstanding Artist" category.
