Wolfgang Pérez & Pedro Fonte - 'Só Ouço' Record Release Concert

In the organizer's words:

Wolfgang Pérez & Pedro Fonte - Live in Cologne
Record Release Concert: Só Ouço
August 21, 2025 | 674 Concert Hall
Support: Faira

Wolfgang Pérez celebrates the release of his new album Só Ouço, a cross-genre work between MPB, experimental pop and tropicália. Created in Rio de Janeiro, the album captures the beauty and chaos of modern Brazil - somewhere between Tom Zé, Gilberto Gil and Ricardo Dias Gomes. The album was recently released on vinyl and digital via Hive Mind Records.

Wolfgang Pérez is a German-Spanish songwriter, arranger and guitarist from Cologne. Known for his genre-bending compositions between folk, electronic and Latin American music, he has now released his third solo album with Só Ouço.

For the live show, Wolfgang will be joined on stage by the original drummer from the record, Pedro Fonte (Ana Frango Elétrico, Rubel, Antonio Neves, among others). Together they perform songs from Só Ouço, pieces from Pedro's solo project and new interpretations of Brazilian repertoire.

Pedro Fonte is a drummer, songwriter and producer from Rio de Janeiro and has been an integral part of the local scene for over 15 years. He has toured Brazil and Europe with well-known acts (Ana Frango Elétrico, Rubel, Antonio Neves) and released two solo albums - most recently Luz na Madrugada / Late Night Light.

The Cologne folk artist Faira will be playing as support:

Faira breaks with traditional song structures and challenges the usual listening experience.
Often described as the German Vashti Bunyan, Faira stands alongside freak-folk legends such as Joanna Newsom and Cocorosie, who are known for their distinctive voices and fascinating styles. The 33-year-old, self-taught musician from Cologne creates her own version of folk, characterized by bold compositions that reflect themes such as family, vulnerability and hope - and reflect the challenges of life.

A special, intimate concert evening in the 674 Konzertraum - don't miss it!
