SOMOS
SOMOS have been exploring rhythms and sounds that put us into a trance since 2006. What began as a blindfolded dance in a living room with a few friends has developed into a place of wonderful encounters for an ever-growing family.
The SOMOS have no songs, because every moment already has its own.
We just need to listen…

After my first musical attempts on a Hammond organ, I discovered the drum. A great love arose. The intuitive playing with and for people gripped me and I immersed myself ever deeper in this world. Little by little, more instruments were added: didgeridoo, balafon, hang... to name just a few. With the Somos, a unit has been created that makes it possible to experience everything musical - there are no limits. A playground that you, dear dancers, enrich and enliven. Thank you very much!
Another great passion is craftsmanship. I was lucky enough to inherit a small wood workshop, which is where my family and I make their living today. Instruments have been and continue to be made in this place according to my ideas.

It's not about music, it's about love. Honestly! What else is life (ultimately miserable) supposed to be? We always have a choice... But that doesn't mean not being authentic, not taking the moment as it feels at the time. Angry, sad, or actually in a good mood...?
When I play music, it's about connecting with that certain point that we all know. There, everything is possible and nothing is necessary.
Often there are stones in front of us that seem to have no way around them and we can see no way out. It is gifts like music that find the way through our labyrinth and allow us to be fully human in a natural way.
I dance and make music with everything and all the time – mainly with piano, guitar, flute or percussion… and have done so for as long as I can remember.
