Mhdb concept     German


'Mozart has the blues' (Mhdb = abbreviation, 'Mozart has the blues' = 'Mozart hat den blues', English translation), Kassel (Germany), is an avant-garde jazz & absurd rock band. Mhdb present themselves mainly on the Mhdb sessions and videos. Mhdb's publications such as 'Mozart had the Blues' analyze the band, the theory & history of drums, as well as urban music, urban culture & development. The virtual Mhdb twin, Bambulete, performs the self-created 43 Mhdb songs (the Mhdb standards) in a largely atonal & percussive style and, except for the voices, entirely computer-generated, but also live since 2020: drumming tips, quarantine solo project.
