PATRICE

Hardly any other German artist expresses the power of reggae and soul as convincingly as Cologne-based Patrice. His voice is haunting, the lyrics intelligent, worldly even and his sound unites the entire world. Already as a teenager, he soaked up the chilled vibes of reggae, the fat grooves of R&B and the power of Rap. Patrice creates a unique musical universe that is infectious live, as even Barack Obama was able to see for himself during his visit to Germany. Patrice once said that "nothing is constant except change", and so he tirelessly travels, whether in Kingston, Paris or Cologne, searching for new musical paths. And just in time for the blue hour, he will take to the Elbjazz stage and light up the harbor with his musical flow.
