Alma Naidu - delicate, poetic, internationally acclaimed. Discovered by drumming legend Wolfgang Haffner, she is one of the most exciting voices in jazz today. With her award-winning debut, worldwide shows and touching songs, she strikes straight to the heart. She will be presenting her new album Redefine with a large band at Stadtgarten Köln.

About Alma Naidu:
What could be better for an up-and-coming jazz talent than to be discovered by a successful musician at a jam session and immediately hired? This is exactly what happened to Alma Naidu in 2019 when she wowed drumming legend Wolfgang Haffner with a touching version of "My Funny Valentine" at the Burghausen Jazz Week. He hired her directly for his new album and many more concerts with him and his all-star line-ups (Lars Danielsson, Nils Landgren, Dominic Miller, Simon Oslender...)

Six years later, Naidu has won numerous awards (BMW Jazz Award, Bavarian Art Award, Kurt Maas Jazz Award). With her debut album Alma she reached the top 10 of the German jazz charts and played over 50 release shows in Germany, Japan, France, the Czech Republic and Nepal.

Jazz critics call her "one of the most promising singers on the German scene" and praise her "delicate" voice. Her mixture of soaring jazz standards and poetic original compositions is haunting and sensitive. Alma means "soul" - and you can hear that in every note.

"One of the greatest vocal talents in Germany" (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
