<p> <strong> Manu Delago enthusiastically in Lienz: Music meets climate awareness </strong> </p>
Manu Delago, the talented musician from Innsbruck, introduces his latest album "Snow From Yesterday" and inspires the audience in Lienz. The 40-year-old, known for his extraordinary skills as a drummer as well as on the slope and the Handpan, has set important accents in the music sector in recent years. Both instruments are not widespread in Austria, but enjoy increasing popularity through Delago's influence.
In the course of his impressive career, Delago worked with numerous international artists, including the prominent Icelandic singer Björk, with whom he has been on tour for more than a decade. For ecological reasons, however, he decided to use alternative types of travel. So he initiated creative "re-cycling tours", in which he and his team drive through Austria with bicycles and on to Amsterdam. The entire music equipment was transported in a trailer, and the tour was carried out with the aim of significantly reducing the CO₂ footprint. The meals were also consistently vegetarian - if you wanted meat, you had to take care of yourself.a musical statement on the climate crisis
Environmental awareness and a conscious handling of nature shape Delago's life and also shape his music. With "Snow From Yesterday" he released an album that conveys a clear message about the climate catastrophe. The title of the album is not chosen; He alludes to the difference between the past and current snow, which expresses slightly metaphorically how the climate has changed. The album contains many natural motifs and addresses changes that are noticeable without being instructive.
The concert on October 6th in the Lienz high school was a perfect opportunity to enjoy the sounds and the associated visual experiences. The city culture of Lienz ensured a harmonious atmosphere, which enabled visitors to immerse yourself in the artistic world of Delagos. Together with the Tyrolean Vocaltrio Mad About Lemon and the multi -instrumentalist Clemens Rofner, a carefully staged performance was offered.
The three singers of the trio, Heidi Erler, Mimi Schmid and Anna Widauer, not only enriched the concert with their voices, but also played various percussion instruments. During the performance, they also painted pictures that visually implemented the musical topics. So sounds were translated into brush strokes, which caused a particularly beautiful connection between music and visual art.
After about an hour and a half of fascinating performance, in which calm passages were cleverly loosened up by powerful, older numbers of Delagos, the images created during the concert were auctioned. This campaign ensured additional tension and turned out to be a great success, with some works changing the owner at real bargain prices.
