Ronja Maltzahn: Flow
Ronja’s music is at home in the wide world. She bears the name of Astrid Lindgren’s robber’s daughter and lives her life in keeping with that prophecy. “The world is so much bigger than you think.” Her wanderlust has always carried her across five continents, traveling with a backpack, a book of poetry, and a ukulele. In 2018, she met her partner, Fede, in Italy, and since then, music has been their shared life. From Buenos Aires to Paris, Toronto to Seoul, the two have now traveled with their music to over 30 countries, she has performed on more than 600 stages, translated her songs into various languages, and produced four studio albums featuring over 60 musical guests from all corners of the world. Her art is about more than just music. It’s about connection. About an attitude of fascinated openness to the world. On stage, Ronja moves gracefully from the cello to the ukulele to the synthesizer, with Fede by her side on bass, Moog, and drum machine. She recites poetry and tells stories; behind her elfin presence, visual projections dance, and a sea of colors and landscapes sweep by. Warm and gentle, her music transports listeners into a uniquely ethereal cosmos. The world holds its breath, time stands still for a moment, and we arrive fully within ourselves. “On the longest journey around the world, we encounter ourselves.”
