Every year, the DAAD Prize is awarded to international students who distinguish themselves through their exceptional commitment to topics related to the students and the respective departments of the HfMT Hamburg. This year's winner is Lucas Etcheverria, who studies jazz guitar in the HfMT's jazz department. On September 13, 2021, the guitarist from Brazil will celebrate the award with a concert and present two of his projects in Gidam and the Lucas Etcheverria Sextet.

A curiosity for rhythmic ideas and musical balance unites Mai Linh (voc) and Lucas Etcheverria (git) in their duo Gidam. A name that reflects the intersection of Portuguese and Vietnamese. Since their formation last year, their interplay has taken them to the stages of the Seminarturnhalle Stade, Hamburg.Stream and the ELBJAZZ Festival. With a warm guitar sound and a smooth voice, with attention to detail, Gidam present their original compositions and their reception of jazz and Brazilian music. Mai Linh is generously supported by the Oscar and Vera Ritter Foundation. https://gidam-duo. de/

Lucas Etcheverria Sextet
Founded in 2020, the sextet explores the different colors of Brazilian-inspired, electronic/rock-influenced and rhythmically diverse music. A journey through atmospheres and connections unites the sextet in a melancholic, energetic and intense combination. Mai Linh Dang (vocals), Jonas Opperman (piano), Timon Krämer (bass), Henning Katz (drums) and Martin Löcken (alto saxophone) play compositions and arrangements by Lucas Etcheverria (guitar).
