Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, in collaboration with BRICS Entertainment has announced the continuation of the worldwide journey of JODOKCELLO, the barefoot cellist from the Swiss Alps who has captivated millions with his soulful performances and authentic artistry.

Born in the serene hills of Emmental, Switzerland, Jodok Vuille—known to the world as JODOKCELLO—has redefined how audiences experience classical music. From handcrafting his own cello to performing barefoot on mountaintops and international stages, his art is a profound invitation to truth, presence, and human connection.

With over 15 million followers and collaborations spanning Mercedes-Benz, Swatch Group, FC Barcelona, Alan Walker, IL VOLO, and Lindsey Stirling, JODOKCELLO has become one of Switzerland’s most influential cultural exports. His award-winning artistry continues to inspire across generations, transcending borders and genres.

As part of his 3-year global journey, titled the Barefoot in the Sand Tour, JODOKCELLO will collaborate with Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, where he will perform an intimate set for guests during the resort’s management cocktails this 18th of October. This unique encounter underscores Alila’s commitment to creating rare, meaningful experiences that celebrate both artistry and nature.

His barefoot performance against the Maldivian horizon will be a rare opportunity for guests to witness a cultural moment that unites authenticity, artistry, and setting. The collaboration is one of many global highlights, as JODOKCELLO continues to bring his message of presence to audiences worldwide.
