Stephan Micus at 70 & new album

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Fascinated by the variety of musical cultures around the world, #stephanmicus has travelled in virtually every Asian and European country as well as in Africa and the Americas. Studying with local master musicians, he learned to play numerous traditional instruments, many of them unknown in the Western world. However, Micus’s intention is not to play these instruments in a traditional manner, but rather to develop the fresh musical possibilities, which he feels are inherent in them. In many of his compositions, which he performs himself, he combines instruments that have never before been played together. The resulting dialogues further reflect his vision of a transcultural music.

On 19 January, Stephan Micus will celebrate his 70th birthday.

And after 45 years years with the label, his 25th solo studio album 'Thunder' will be released on Friday 20 January.

To celebrate Stephan's musical legacy, we included a selection of his albums in this week's special offer.
