Manu Delago- Grammy nominee, composer, innovator and acclaimed percussionist - has teamed up with the Austrian vocal ensemble Mad About Lemon to craft a profound and distinct new album. Together they will perform 'Snow from Yesterday' (out Feb 2024 via One Little Independent Records) on a UK tour this February. He'll be joined by the three singers of Mad About Lemon and Clemens Rofner on bass and synths.
Like the water that runs like a current through ‘Snow From Yesterday’, the album is fluid, versatile, and powerful. Represented in all its forms, from glacial mountains, to rivers, and even the smallest drop into watercolour, the album is about journeys and the stages of life that may change you, but also links you to others, in other times and other places. A flowing, tangible energy connects each track to its subject matter, and each track to one another. What’s important on ‘Snow From Yesterday’ is how the highs are grounded in very real, personal moments. It can at once tackle mammoth climate issues, while conveying moments of incredible intimacy.
Manu has become a leading name in his field, touring with the likes of Björk, most recently on her celebrated Cornucopia tour. His trademark handpan virtuosity is the rhythmic lifeforce of ‘Snow From Yesterday’, creating majestic, emotive sounds, often with a tender delicacy, for Mad About Lemon’s folksy harmonies to pour over.
