The Hamburg rapper Samy Deluxe has been active in the music business for over 30 years. But he is also an established graffiti artist who invests a lot of time in his studio work. For this reason, Samy Deluxe was invited to the Artists-in-Residency program of the European Capital of Culture project HALLENKUNST 2025. As part of this program, he created a wooden installation entitled "DELUXE" in November 2024. This art installation will be shown for the first time on March 29, 2025 as part of his TAKEOVER Ensemble Show in the Chemnitz City Hall.
Hamburg rap pioneer Samy Deluxe and Mikis Takeover! Ensemble are breaking down the boundaries between hip-hop and classical music. What do a classical chamber music ensemble and a rapper have in common?
A stage, the love of music and the unanswered question: what actually is high culture!
... In a way never heard before, the classical musicians transport the works of Samy Deluxe from his high culture albums into realms that immerse the listener deeply and at the same time shake them up. The emotional strength of the classical musical language combined with the lyrical and rhythmic impact of hip hop. A celebration on stage, a major win for both sides and a new insight into the subject of high culture!
