Kulturarena Jena | Max Herre & Joy Denalane

In the organizer's words:

We are delighted that this show is gracing our line-up! After the concert originally planned for last summer had to be postponed, we are now looking forward to summer 2026 with great anticipation.

Max Herre, a thoroughbred musician in ever new spheres of activity, turns out to be an art activist and co-founder of the Kolchose collective, one of the most important representatives of German rap music, a popular member of the band Freundeskreis, part of a likeable group of artists called FK-Allstars, a passionate solo artist and singer-songwriter. Nope, not finished yet. He also excels as a composer, pianist and producer, as a director or publisher, juror and coach and is always keen to collaborate with other artists. What a board - or rather: what a richly laid table! Admittedly: The artist's round of introductions seems redundant by now; we've finally (and fortunately) had the pleasure of welcoming him to the theater forecourt a few times and tasting his art. Including hers:

Joy Denalane is considered the queen of German soul. With an overwhelming voice and a great message, she has been bringing a fresh and strong wind into the German music landscape since the late 1990s and has had a significant influence on the scene. Denalane celebrated her breakthrough as part of Freundeskreis with the hit "Mit Dir", before establishing herself as a solo artist with her debut album "Mamani". With albums such as "Gleisdreieck" and the international masterpiece "Let Yourself Be Loved", the singer proves that her music is not only at home in this country, but worldwide. The singer was showered with awards and was the first German artist to be signed to the legendary record label Motown Records. You have to digest that first.

But this is about both Max and Joy. About their musical and personal connection. About euphoria and hurt, inspiration, happiness, longing and crises. The result is their latest record "Alles Liebe" - and it's got it all: soul, gentle and euphoric melodies and the fusion of hip-hop and R&B. Alles Liebe.
