Mezzoforte comes to Bremen Teater with their solid and groovy fusion jazz-funk
Mezzoforte burst through the sound barrier with their smash hit 'Garden Party' in 1983 and have since spread their solid groovy North Atlantic jazz-funk to the whole world. Eythor, Fridrik and Johann form the original core of the band and the chemistry is the same when the group from Reykjavik takes over the Bremen Theatre in July.

They have been together for 40 years, and therefore played two sold-out anniversary shows in Reykjavik in September 2017. It was Steinar Berg who saw the potential in the band early on. It took four albums to break through to the charts, and with the album Surprise Surprise from 1982, Mezzoforte hit both the charts and the dance floors of discos with 'Garden Party', which was also arranged by Chris Cameron.

Buki-Yamaz reunites and plays a concert at Bremen Teater during Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2026.
After more than four decades of absence, the Danish Latin-funk ensemble Buki-Yamaz returns to the stage. In December 2025, the band will play two exclusive anniversary concerts to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut album in 1975. Both concerts sold out in record time, and now the group is coming to Bremen Teater during this summer's Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

As one of the most style-setting orchestras of the 70s, Buki-Yamaz mixed jazz, funk, Latin and psychedelic elements with uncompromising musicality and intense live energy. In their short but groundbreaking career, they managed to release five albums in just four years, play up to 100 concerts annually and were a regular at Roskilde Festival from 1974 to 1979.
