Hugenottenhalle

Shantel, alias Stefan Hantel, is a musician with many facets. The "king of the Balkan dancefloor" was the first German artist to win the BBC World Music Award (2006) and reach the top of the European world music charts. He brought the wildest sounds of Eastern Europe to the club scene. With his musical revolution, he triggered a completely new wave in pop and music culture. His parties picked up where the ecstatic raves of the house and techno generation left off.

The musician is not only coming to the Hugenottenhalle with his "canned goods suitcase", but is also bringing a whole live orchestra with him, as well as a special guest: Tony Lakatos, one of Europe's best-known jazz saxophonists. Lakatos' father was a famous violinist, as was his younger brother Roby. His musical training began at the age of six on the violin.

The evening kicks off with the band Discovery Collective. Awarded 1st prize in the Future Sound competition, the young musicians played at the Guitar Night of the Leverkusen Jazz Days together with the bands of Bill Frisell and John Scofield, among others.
