Concert Film from Lukas Beck released on the 10th of October 2008
Vienna (APA) - The Viennese Lukas Beck (born in 1969) knows the Austrian music scene very well as a photographer. He made a breakthrough with his unique photography and accompanied Austrian Kabarretists and superstars who performed in sold out theaters. He also has done a number of exhibitions (the last being “Wien Tradition und Moderne” at the Leopold Museum and “Fussballkäfig international” at the occasion of EURO 08 at the gallery urbanart). He has published books and ilustrations about (Hans Söllner, Die Wiener SängerKnaben and Kurt Ostbahn). In the near future he will be taken serious as film director.
In March 2008 Beck´s concert film “Be a Mensch” the opening of the European year of intercultural dialogue 2008 that was performed by Willi Resetarits and musicians from all over the world at the Wiener Stadthalle was shown in the Austrian tv station ORF.

On the 10th of October 2008 the first DVD that Lukas Beck is responsible for as a director was released, “MoZuluArt live in Hernals” (Universal music) is a documentation of a concert performed by the group MoZuluArt filmed at the Metropol Theatre Vienna in October 2007. The group that comprises of Roland Guggenbichler (Austria), Vusa Mkhaya Ndlovu, Blessings Nqo Nkomo and Ramadu (all from Zimbabwe) mixes traditional Zulu singing and classical music (mainly Mozart compositions). The joy of performing that is made complete by the Ambassade String Quartet and guest star Wolfgang Puschnig comes out well in the sensible quet picture language of Mr Beck as well as the audience´s relaxed and happy atmosphere.

CD "MoZuluArt - Zulu music meets Mozart"
The CD "MoZuluArt - zulu music meets Mozart" will be released on July 7th on Universal music. It contains 14 tracks from the MoZulu program. It´s a great honour for us to have Austria`s saxophone legend Wolfgang Puschnig on the album, this time playing his marvellous magical flute. As if this wasn`t enough, there is also a bonus track on which MoZuluArt is performing live with the Vienna Symphony orchestra. Watch out!

MoZuluArt CD
The group that was to become MuZuluArt started out when Vusa, Blessings and Ramadu invited their mate Roland to join them for a musical contribution to the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the end of organized racism in the republic of South Africa, held in the Radiokulturhaus/Vienna. From then on they worked together on compositions, recorded many songs in the Arena/Vienna with producer Thomas Löffler, and did an overwhelming debut show in the mentioned Concert hall. The result of this journey can soon be heard on their forthcoming CD "MoZuluArt".
