Renaud Garcia-Fons is a double bass player and composer with a unique career spanning jazz, classical and world music. The virtuoso soloist is regarded as a magician and one of the absolute pioneers in the world of the double bass. His bow playing, his innovative mastery of the spiccato and his specially developed five-string double bass (instead of the usual four strings) have earned him worldwide recognition and numerous awards and prizes, including the Echo - German Music Prize Jazz (2010 and 2012) and the Giraldillo de Oro of the Flamenco Biennial Seville, which was awarded to a double bass player for the first time in 2012.

For his new program "Blue Maqam", which you can experience at the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk, he is teaming up with his daughter. Solea Garcia-Fons, adept at traditional music and lyrical singing, has become the epicenter of this new adventure. In this repertoire, she will sing in eight different languages: Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Greek, Spanish, Italian and French.

As is so often the case in Renaud Garcia-Fons' universe, the musical cultures of the Mediterranean are placed in the foreground, but the route also leads through Persia and, even more unexpectedly, through English Ireland. The skillful combination of timbres and the combination of voice and double bass define his new project "Blue Maqam".
