New Album SKA BEATIN' BOOGIE
Nico Brina's new album "SKA BEATIN' BOOGIE" exudes pure joie de vivre: with its lively, rousing yet airy rhythms, it gets even the most reserved dancers tapping their feet.
In each of the ten tracks, Brina, together with his long-time companions Tobias Schramm (drums) and Pete Borel (guitar), succeeds in creating a completely new musical combination: he skilfully blends ska, which originated in Jamaica in the 1950s, with his unmistakable Boogie Woogie and Rock'n'Roll style.
The album is now available for download and streaming on all major platforms

Included by buying my new book is the new Album "Boogiemania" (QR-Code in book). Let's go Boogie! Greetings from Switzerland, take care out there! Yours, Nico
In over 4,000 performances in 19 countries to date, the award-winning Swiss boogie and blues pianist Nico Brina has experienced the magic of improvised music, how it affects people and what it triggers in their souls. Music as a world language.
Already in his German-language book "Von 100 auf 0 in 1 Sekunde" (From 100 to 0 in 1 second), published in 2022, he talked humorously and up close about his career and about unusual projects that enabled him to keep the flame alive even during the coronavirus pandemic.
Just in time for his 40th stage anniversary in 2024, a direct continuation of this successful author's journey is now being published, and this time also in an English translation: "Boogiemania - 88 keys to the soul".
Nico Brina takes a deeper look into his life, telling funny and sometimes even totally crazy anecdotes from his multifaceted career. A thrilling book that in personal, direct language provides valuable insights into the nature of uncompromising dedication on stage. Brina repeatedly succeeds in creating a philosophical link between the art of improvising on 88 keys and normal life. In this way, he draws highly inspiring images that give people the courage and strength to engage with the moment and surrender to the so-called "flow". In doing so, he perhaps even provides something of an explanation for the timeless secret of boogie and blues magic.
