Patrice & Friends - Rocksteady Christmas

On December 30, 2025, visitors to the Kölner Philharmonie can expect a musical highlight that pushes the boundaries of the familiar: "Rocksteady Christmas" with Patrice and Friends. Renowned Cologne singer Patrice, known for his profound connection to reggae, brings Caribbean sounds to the heart of everyday winter life. In collaboration with musical companions, he gives traditional Christmas songs such as "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Silent Night" a new, rousing guise. The rocksteady sound, an early and intense form of reggae, is skillfully placed in a Christmas context. This event combines musical tradition and innovative interpretation by fusing contemplative melodies with the lightness of Caribbean rhythms. Visitors can look forward to an evening that captivates with harmonies and warm sounds and should delight both connoisseurs and newcomers to reggae music.
