Starting the Barefoot in the Sand Tour with a Stop at Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is the Barefoot Cellist from the Alps

Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, together with BRICS Entertainment is pleased to announce the continuation of the global travels of JODOKCELLO, the Swiss Alps' very own barefoot cellist who has moved millions with his soulful playing and real artistry.

Born in the peaceful hills of Emmental, Switzerland, Jodok Vuille, the world knows him as JODOKCELLO, has revolutionized the way people listen to classical music. From making his own cello by hand to playing barefoot on mountain tops and world stages, his music is a deep call to truth, presence, and human touch.
With a following of more than 15 million and collaborations with Mercedes-Benz, Swatch Group, FC Barcelona, Alan Walker, IL VOLO, and Lindsey Stirling, JODOKCELLO is now one of Switzerland's most powerful cultural exports. His prize-winning artistry continues to inspire generations on and across borders and genres.

As part of his 3-year world tour, called the Barefoot in the Sand Tour, JODOKCELLO will perform with Alila Kothaifaru Maldives as he plays an acoustic set for the guests as part of the resort's management cocktails this 18th of October. This special experience reflects Alila's dedication to providing unique and memorable experiences that showcase both art and nature.

"Music is not just sound. It's connection. It's presence. It's the truth." – JODOKCELLO

His barefoot show against the Maldivian backdrop will be an exceptional treat for visitors to experience a cultural moment that combines authenticity, artistry, and environment. The collaboration is but one of several worldwide highlights as JODOKCELLO continues to present his message of presence to global audiences.

"Having JODOKCELLO as our guest at Alila Kothaifaru is a privilege. His work embodies the same principles we do: authenticity, sense of connection, and profound respect for nature. Guests will never forget this experience." – Thomas Weber, General Manager, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
The Barefoot in the Sand Tour is the next phase of JODOKCELLO's well-travelled road: one which is ever-growing, speaking to hearts far beyond the confines of concert venues, and re-affirming music's power to unite.
