Samy Deluxe & Mikis Takeover! Ensemble

Hamburg rap pioneer Samy Deluxe and Mikis Takeover! Ensemble break down the boundaries between hip hop and classical music.

What do a classical chamber music ensemble and a rapper have in common? A stage, a love of music and the unresolved question: what actually is high culture?

In a way never heard before, the classical musicians transport the works of Samy Deluxe from his »Hochkultur« albums into realms that allow the listener to immerse themselves deeply and at the same time shake them up. The emotional power of the classical musical language is combined with the lyrical and rhythmic impact of hip hop. A celebration on stage, a win-win situation for both sides and a new insight into the subject of high culture!
