JOHANNES OERDING &
Dabu Fantastic

From heart to heart, from note to note. Two ways of telling about love – two languages, one theme. Johannes Oerding and Dabu Fantastic demonstrate how different closeness can sound. Oerding is one of Germany’s most successful singer-songwriters. His albums have gone gold and platinum, his songs are played everywhere but remain down-to-earth. «Alles brennt» tells of heartache and breakup, «Kreise» of feelings that always catch up on us, «An guten Tagen» of small pleasures. Direct images, unadulterated, straight from the heart. 

Dabu Fantastic respond in dialect, sharp, cryptic, garnished with a generous portion of raw street cred. «Angelina» and «Ciao Baby, Ciao» revolve around relationships with laconic humour. «Nomal so ne Nacht» and «Liebi passiert» blend the everyday with groove, while «Nach em Chrieg» shows that they can also formulate a clear stance. 

An evening that appeals to the heart without descending into cliches. Two voices, two viewpoints – taken together they deliver a lasting resonance.
