Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Amaro Freitas Trio

    Amaro Freitas describes himself in an interview as a »percussion pianist« and he actually gets drum qualities out of the piano in his shimmering Brazilian jazz compositions. And yet so much more! Two themes are particularly closes to Freitas’ heart: the conservation of the unique nature of his homeland of Brazil and the »decolonialisation of jazz,« as he calls his musical journeys into the indigenous music cultures of Brazil and Africa.
