Seven-time Grammy-nominated composer and percussionist Andy Akiho comes to Überschlag 2026.
Moving effortlessly between the focus of the concert hall and the energy of pop and club culture, Andy Akiho represents a new kind of musical star: intelligent, sensual, and approachable. At the heart of his work is the steel pan, an instrument whose journey from the streets to a richly sophisticated musical language reflects Akiho’s own artistic vision—always direct, always captivating.
His appearance at Überschlag 2026 is not a traditional retrospective. Throughout the festival week, Akiho will rehearse his works together with the international participants of the CAMP, creating a space for exchange and collaboration. During the concert, he will personally guide the audience through the programme. It is where world-class artistry meets community, and experience becomes a shared celebration of the moment.
