SAXYARPA
Music full of beauty and life
Alberto Sanchez from Paraguay is an exceptional talent on his harp! Nobody expects anything like that from a harp! Full of energy and passion, he is able to replace an entire rhythm section. Alberto Sanchez is the winner of the Folklore Oscar, is a member of the band "Anna R." around the Rosenstolz singer and has recorded the harp tracks for Tabaluga for Peter Maffay in the studio.
Johannes Köppen studied flute and composition and already played as a saxophonist in jazz bands during his studies. He has played numerous concerts with Ken Norris or Bridget Fogle. Johannes is a member of Lotto-King-Karl's band and has already performed on stage with Roger Chapman.
Manuel Beutke plays percussion and has been expanding the band since the beginning of 2020. As a drummer, Manuel is at home in punk, as a percussionist he is in great demand with flamenco bands. Saxyarpa benefits from Manuel's dynamic and versatile playing.
When these three musicians meet, magic happens: from the apparent opposites, from soul, pop, folk, flamenco and jazz, a very unique, unmistakable sound emerges. No matter whether saxyarpa play their own songs or interpret compositions by others, with their shared passion and love they create something completely new: music full of beauty and life - music that you may know but have never heard before.
