Der in Berlin lebende, mexikanische Gitarrist Hugo Fernández vereint den improvisatorischen Reichtum des Jazz mit Einflüssen aus Pop-Rock, klassischer Musik und Weltmusik. Mit seinem neuen Projekt Echoes of the Divine: A Jazz Tribute to Zelda bringt er eine einmalige musikalische Hommage an die Dichterin Zelda Schneerson Mishkovksy auf die Bühne. Ihre spirituellen Texte in der Tradition jüdischen Mystik inspirieren Fernández zu einer Jazz-Suite, die den Klangraum zwischen dem Heiligen und dem Alltäglichen auslotet.

EACH OF US HAS A NAME - Poem of Zelda
Each of us has a name
given by God
and given by our parents
Each of us has a name
given by our stature and our smile
and given by what we wear
Each of us has a name
given by the mountains
and given by our walls
Each of us has a name
given by the stars
and given by our neighbors
Each of us has a name
given by our sins
and given by our longing
Each of us has a name
given by our enemies
and given by our love
Each of us has a name
given by our celebrations
and given by our work
Each of us has a name
given by the seasons
and given by our blindness
Each of us has a name
given by the sea
and given by
our death.

Each of us has a name
given by the sea
and given by
our death.
