About Nacht der Gitarren

The "Nacht der Gitarren" is a tour that brings together four international acoustic guitarists from different continents each year - a new quartet each season, each concert in solo, duo, and quartet formats. For the 10th anniversary, the tour will perform on November 13, 2026, in the theater hall of the ufaFabrik in Berlin-Tempelhof, with an unusually diverse lineup: Minnie Marks from Australia (slide and folk guitar), Roxane Elfasci from France (classical-flamenco), Niwel Tsumbu from Congo (African polyrhythms), and André Cavalcante from Brazil (Bossa Nova and Choro). Starts at 8 PM, tickets from €34.

What is the "Nacht der Gitarren"?

The "Nacht der Gitarren" is an annual touring concert format that has been bringing a new quartet of international acoustic guitarists through German and European cities since 2016. The concept: four musicians from four different continents or styles, alternating solo, duo, and quartet performances on stage. The tour showcases the diverse interpretations of the acoustic guitar worldwide - from folk-slide and classical flamenco to Bossa Nova and African fingerpicking polyrhythms. In 2026, the format celebrates its 10th anniversary with a particularly contrasting lineup.

The Four Guitarists in 2026

The anniversary quartet brings together four very different schools:

Minnie Marks (Australia) - Slide guitar, folk, country-blues; known for her energetic, almost rocky solo style with a resonator guitar.
Roxane Elfasci (France) - classical and flamenco guitar, one of the younger stars of the French flamenco scene; works between Paris and Andalusia.
Niwel Tsumbu (Congo / Ireland) - Congolese rumba and soukous tradition, with sub-Saharan polyrhythms and West African influences.
André Cavalcante (Brazil) - Choro and Bossa Nova tradition; Brazilian seven-string specialist, continuing the Sambiquera school.

Concept of the Evening

On the ufaFabrik stage, the four artists alternate: first each solo, then unexpected duo combinations (slide meets flamenco, choro meets soukous), culminating in a joint quartet finale. Between pieces, there are anecdotes about the instruments, the travels, and the musical intersections. The ufaFabrik theater hall offers unusually good acoustics for unamplified guitar - the format works with minimal PA, almost like a chamber concert.

The ufaFabrik in Southern Tempelhof

The ufaFabrik on Viktoriastraße in the Tempelhof district (Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough) is a former UFA film copying plant occupied in 1979 - today a self-managed cultural center with a theater hall, open-air stage, children's circus, café, farm, and apartments. It has been a regular venue for acoustic music, world music, dance, and performance for decades. The "Nacht der Gitarren" fits perfectly into the venue's profile - the tour comes to Berlin every year to the theater hall.
