Marialy Pacheco (Kuba) ir Joo Kraus (Vokietija)! | VILNIUS

in 2026 on September 11, exceptional jazz musicians Marialy Pacheco (Cuba) and Joo Kraus (Germany) will perform in Vilnius!

Great news for all fans of inspiring, authentic and masterfully performed jazz!
September 11 (Friday) at 18:00, a unique concert will be held in Vilnius, in a cozy dance theater with fantastic acoustics (T. Kosciuškos str. 11). This sensual performance will leave all listeners in a wonderful festive mood for a long time!
Pianist Marialy Pacheco, who is already well known and loved by art fans, has performed several times in Lithuania together with excellent percussionists: Moroccan Rhani Krija (from the group of singer Sting) and Colombian Miguel Altamar. This time, the piano virtuoso will perform together with the talented and original trumpeter Joo Kraus from Germany. Born in Cuba, Marialy plays the piano divine and looks like a supermodel! (a magical combination, isn't it?).
Jazz critics write about her: "She can play classical music, loves the blues, Monk and Ellington and she
can swing like 100 devils!
Marialy Pacheco plays as she looks - amazing! Those who think that it is only a musical-geographical component, only Cuba and the Caribbean and expect her to interpret salsa, are wrong. Marialy Pacheco has a distinctive "percussive" style that immediately calls to mind Keith Jarrett and creates melodic lines that originate from Oskar Peterson's performance manner.
It's impressive how she weaves the percussion into the swing while maintaining a wonderful softness of touch, creating depth and sparkling enjoyment. Not surprisingly, she was the first woman to win the prestigious Montreux Jazz Pianist Competition and became the first jazz pianist in the world to be officially named a Bösendorfer Artist. Its concert program features original music, as well as works by composers such as Eliseo Grenet, Ernesto Lecuona, and others. arrangements of works.
A chance meeting with virtuoso trumpeter Joo Kraus was particularly successful. J. Kraus came as if from another jazz planet, his element was funk-jazz, the sound of club music. At the age of 19, he won first place in the German national Jugend Musiziert competition. In the early 90s, he founded the world famous hip-hop duo "Tab Two" together with bassist Helmut Huttler. The use of computers and programmable effects was a breakthrough in music at the time, especially in jazz.
Joo Kraus, among other things, recorded an album in Havana inspired by the Cuban rhythms "Sueño" and arranged Michael Jackson songs in a sophisticated jazz style, while maintaining respect for the work of the King of Pop!
in 2013 he won the "Echo Jazz" award as the best trumpet player and this was already the sixth award given to him by the German Jazz Association - a "gold disc" for the solo album "Public Jazz Lounge"!
The musical meeting of Marialy Pacheco and Joo Kraus on one stage is like an explosion of passions, emotions, amazing and creative energy!
In Marialy's own words: "This unique combination creates a fresh, new sound, the result of which is a fusion of traditional Cuban music, Afro-Cuban rhythms, modern European music, a jazz-infused musical fantasy."
Incredible romance, great performance, charisma, amazing warmth - these and many other words of admiration can be said about this unique duo!
