It might seem far fetched, but already the album release schedules for 2024 are starting to fill up – and here is one Arcana will be covering for sure.

Manu Delago will release his new album Snow From Yesterday on 2 February. In the words of his press release, “the Austrian composer, innovator, Grammy nominee and acclaimed percussionist has teamed up with vocal ensemble Mad About Lemon to craft a profound and distinct new concept piece. Manu has become a leading name in his field, touring with the likes of Björk, most recently on her celebrated Cornucopia tour. His trademark handpan virtuosity is the rhythmic lifeforce of Snow From Yesterday, creating majestic, emotive sounds, often with a tender delicacy, for Mad About Lemon’s folksy harmonies to pour over.

See what you think of his new work below – I am sure you will play it again once you’ve heard it!
