An evening full of young jazz ideas at Bunker Ulmenwall

With UNDER THE RADAR, Bunker Ulmenwall shines a spotlight on a new concert series for emerging bands from jazz, funk, and related styles on May 29, 2026.

Imaginative sound journey with vocals and vibraphone

The duo of Anna-Karina Barthel and Carlotta Ribbe relies on a special mix of voice and vibraphone. According to the event description, small musical stories arise from jazz, original songs, and well-known melodies, which come across as playful or dreamy. Carlotta Ribbe brings a remarkable background: she is studying jazz vibraphone at the master's level at Folkwang University of the Arts, has won several competitions, and has been awarded for solo performances. Anna-Karina Barthel also refers on her own website to the Women in Jazz Award 2025. ([kulturoeffner.de](https://kulturoeffner.de/events/event/4412))

Fusion with an edge: Irinas Quartet

Irina's Quartet also stands for an open, modern concept of jazz. The band blends power ballads, blues sounds, modern jazz, Latin, funk, and swing into a lively quartet sound, according to the advance announcement. This stylistic flexibility fits perfectly with the concept of UNDER THE RADAR: emerging talent, experimentation, musical risk-taking. In the space of the bunker, where the stage and audience come close together, such arrangements unfold their full impact.
