Manu Delago 
(feat. Mad About Lemon) - Snow from Yesterday Tour

Manu Delago - Grammy nominee, composer, innovator and acclaimed percussionist has teamed up with 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 European tour.

“When I discovered Mad About Lemon a couple of years ago, I was blown away by their delicate vocal arrangements. They create really beautiful harmonies that combine the best of both worlds – lead and choir singing. I immediately wanted to make music with them and I'm very excited that after lots of songwriting and recording sessions we can now share the music with an audience”, explains Manu Delago.

The album is fluid, versatile, and powerful. Manu Delago's handpan virtuosity is the rhythmic lifeforce of Snow From Yesterday, creating majestic, emotive sounds, often with a tender delicacy, for Mad About Lemon’s interwoven vocals to pour over. 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.

“Lots of my recent projects were very adventurous, conceptual and environment driven. With Snow from Yesterday I wanted to make the music priority again and create the most touching soundworld I could imagine, which thanks to some magic by the singers Anna, Mimi and Heidi (Mad About Lemon) turned out really well”, says Manu Delago.

The Austrian musician has regularly collaborated with various artists such as Björk, Anoushka Shankar, The Cinematic Orchestra, Olafur Arnalds and has appeared as a soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, Metropole Orkest and many more. He has performed in more than 50 countries around the world but more importantly completed two extensive concert tours by biycle. On the so-called 'ReCycling Tour' (2021 and 2023) his band & crew performed around 20 shows along a 1000 mile bicycle route, carrying all their equipment and instruments in bike trailers.

Manu Delago is famous for his dynamic and surprising live shows. On the upcoming tour he'll be joined by the three singers of Mad About Lemon and Clemens Rofner on bass and synths. Everyone on stage not only covers various acoustic and electronic instruments, but also contributes shapes and colours to visual artworks developing live with the music. Snow From Yesterday travels far, across endless oceanic expanses, and thousands of years, telling stories that aim to help the listener to see themselves as part of a larger body. After all, all rivers lead to the sea.
