KALLE KALIMA’s album LIVE ON PLANET BERLIN is out. Kalle is one of the 3 nominees for German Jazz Prize 2022. We did this rbbKultur record at the legendary AUFSTURZ, featuring Oliver Potratz on bass and Oliver Steidle on drums – just shortly before the pandemic came to Berlin. The album is a wild safari to the outskirts of planet earth. It is published on enja & yellowbird records.

Late nineties. Two vietnamese sisters escape from Czech Republic to Germany trying to find their mother. The older one knows that there are cristals in the jacket of the younger one, to pay the human trafficker.
