Happy Deluxe is a sonic homage to moments of happiness. Quadro Nuevo comments: ‘Our music has always been born out of experiences and encounters. We were fascinated by the cheerfulness and friendliness of many people in Brazil. It coloured our songs. That's how the title of the album came about. We are well aware that the everyday lives of many people are anything but carefree. Nevertheless - or precisely because of this - music can offer a positive alternative world, even in times of crisis and war.’ Childhood friends Mulo Francel and Didi Lowka founded the ensemble Quadro Nuevo in 1996. Since then, the adventurous artists have travelled to countless places from Helsinki to Hong Kong, from the Caucasus to New York's Carnegie Hall. Their daring way of making music has earned them two ECHO awards, a gold disc, the German Record Critics' Award and several jazz awards.
Mulo Francel: saxes, clarinets, mandolin

The cosy vaulted architecture of the Jazzkeller means that not all seats have a completely unobstructed view of the stage. The Jazzkeller is not fully barrier-free.
Important information
The HfK is barrier-free to a limited extent at the Dechanatstraße location.
The entire building is fully accessible via two lifts, in the west wing and in the middle wing, from the basement to the 2nd floor. Due to a height offset on the ground floor, the toilet for people with limited mobility can only be reached barrier-free from the entrance via the basement and the 1st floor.
Public disabled parking spaces are designated on the street immediately adjacent to the courtyard entrance. In addition, a disabled parking space can be allocated on the premises by the caretakers and the security service. The colleagues can be reached by telephone at +49 421 9595-1400.
