New solo album Announcement
Statement from Mauricio Nader:
[NEW SOLO ALBUM] 🎸
With a lot of pride, I announce my 4th solo album. It consists of all the famous Cello Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach, recorded on solo Electric Bass.
This is the first time in the history of music that all of these pieces, the 36 movements, are recorded on the instrument. There have been many bass players who play and/or record just a few of them here and there, but never in a full record, with excellent sound and performance quality.
Limited edition double CD copies of the album will be available soon, as well as on all streaming platforms, and I will also publish the transcription book, with fingerings, tablature, and explanation texts, exactly as I recorded them.
This work was funded by the “Deutscher Hilfsverein für das Albert-Schweitzer-Spital in Lambarene e.V.” (DHV), which is an association that preserves the legacy of Albert Schweitzer. He was a great scholar and performer of the music of J.S. Bach. I personally want to give my sincere thanks to this association for the opportunity they gave me to work on this album here in Germany.
I also want to thank the brands that have been supporting me through all these years: Ibanez, Markbass and Elixir Strings . And finally, to all of you in every part of the world who follow my work as a musician.
With all my gratitude 🙏
Mauricio Nader

Kreuzmusik Duo - Un concierto alrededor del mundo con bajo eléctrico y flauta dulce
¿Qué ocurre cuando juntamos a un bajista Chileno y a un flautista Alemán en Berlín? Una pregunta llena de curiosidad que llama la atención desde el comienzo…
... Y la respuesta es: que tenemos una hermosa e innovadora forma de sentir la música, a través de un repertorio que mezcla la música clásica, el jazz y el folklore Latinoamericano.
Esto es Kreuzmusik Duo, una idea que nació en 2019 cuando dos amigos músicos, Mauricio Nader en el bajo eléctrico y Benjamin Kiersch en la flauta dulce, decidieron juntarse y buscar una nueva sonoridad combinando sus instrumentos y gustos musicales. Ellos ya han realizado varios conciertos con una muy buena y entusiasta respuesta del público, y ahora nos presentan nuevamente su arte, versionando música de varias latitudes del mundo, que van desde J.S. Bach hasta Chick Corea, pasando por un sinfín de estilos que incluyen la sonata barroca, el Bossa-Nova y el Rock, entre otros.

Collaboration with Albert Schweitzer Foundation
Today, 9th May 2021, Mauricio Nader has started a collaboration with the German foundation "Deutscher Hilfsverein für das Albert-Schweitzer-Spital in Lambarene e.V." (DHV), whose aim is to spread Albert Schweitzer's message around the world.
Mauricio will contribute with his solo work to the work of this association, through concerts, workshops, masterclasses and publication of new material.
Albert Schweitzer OM (Kaysersberg, Alsace, German Empire, January 14, 1875 - Lambaréné, Moyen-Ogooué, Gabon, September 4, 1965) was a Franco-German doctor, philosopher, theologian and musician, with initially German and then French citizenship (after the incorporation of Alsace to the French Republic), medical missionary in Africa and Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.
As a musician, from an early age he learned to play the piano and following the family tradition - his father and grandfather were organists - he studied to play that instrument, being a student of the French composer Charles-Marie Widor. At the same time, he studied the construction of organs and advocated the preservation of the oldest instruments. His study and interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's works for organ is very special.
It was his putting his philosophy of "Reverence for Life" into practice in his own life that earned him the Nobel Prize and worldwide recognition; an attitude he expressed in many ways, most famously by founding and maintaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, now Gabon, in West Central Africa, at that time still French Equatorial Africa.
Collaboration with lo-fi project
Here in Berlin Mauricio have had the chance to meet many good artists to work with. With some of them he has played many concerts, and with others he has done some collaborations.
Today is the launch of the lo-fi single “Blurry”, a collaboration Mauricio did with the great artist Soundspretty, also from Berlin. You can listen the track here:
