Ronja Maltzahn - Butterfly & Wolf Tour 2025
She played the “cello” for Udo Lindenberg when she was awarded the Panic Prize for German newcomers in the summer before last. The following year, the song poet and producer was honored by the Hanns Seidel Foundation; most people probably know her name from the debate about her dreadlocks the previous year.
Dancingly, she shifts from the cello to the ukulele, to the piano and synthesizer, her voice weaves threads of poetry into the air. She tells stories of being on the road, of joy in life, and deep connection. Seven years ago, Ronja met her Argentine partner and bassist Fede in Italy. Since then, the two have played many hundreds of concerts with various formations of their music family (called “BlueBird Orchestra”), traveled to numerous countries, and translated their songs into different languages. “If it’s beautiful, don’t ask where the path will lead you…”
THE MUSIC.
The first musical chapter of BUTTERFLY AND WOLF. WOLF stands for everything loud and powerful in her life, her pack, her team, the WE. In contrast to everything quiet, delicate, inward, and deeply personal. Ronja's fine voice is framed by grand soundscapes; electronic synth vocoders collide with orchestral highlights featuring a multi-voiced choir. A pinch of Billie Eilish and Aurora's ethereal handwriting, paired with the orchestral vastness of Hans Zimmer.
THE PICTURE BOOK.
12 songs. 85 hand-painted images. A book. A story that speaks of friendship and solidarity, of an inner strength that can carry us through the darkest times in life. Do you remember the animated music video LIKE A WOLF by Tanya? Tetiana She Wolf. In February 2022, the war broke out, this great human madness, insanity, nonsense. In February 2025, our work will come into the world, in remembrance of this turning point in fate. As a dedication TO PEACE. MAKE ART NOT WAR.
THE TOUR.
LIVE, Ronja and Fede present the album on stage, together with Emily (Keys), Kai (Drums), and a variety of instruments, visual projections, and light play, personal anecdotes, and poetry... and the most important thing is YOU, the energy that arises in the room when people come together and listen to each other. Will you sing along?
