It took less than 24 hours, the first announced shows were sold out – it is said to have hardly taken a minute in Cologne. The exuberant joy of the finally full-time association of FatoniJuse Ju and Edgar Wasser bring the fans to the concert in the Berlin ballroom Kreuzberg weeks after advance sales. Already at the pre-act, DJ Jenny Sharp, is being ripped off, it plays completely different music, no German rap, but rather a Grammy winner Doechii and related from the US scene. But the focus shifts quickly, first in the form of called names, then to a resounding euphoria. “Edgar, Juse, Toni, Best Combination”, sounds from everywhere when the three musicians storm onto the stage for “Best Kombi” from Bawr’s joint debut in May.
Never before, the three scene favorites played a whole tour together, and especially the Edgar water, which disappears completely from the scene, is celebrated like a superstar. And yes, it is actually the doppelgangers with a completely own appearance, which he sent to promotional appointments so as not to have to speak publicly, have stayed at home. All three rappers wear black adidas suits and they are all full of zack, not only new songs, but also to present what fans have repeatedly asked for new triple work since the start of 2014.
Openly left rap
Well, Wahlberliner Juse Ju raps his stanza from “7eleven” in the Medley of the early work, although this is actually only in the setlist for later. But that may be less likely to be owed than simply the contemporary adaptation of the songs, which the trio is doing here and there: Keyword “And Kanye West now sings: ‘Heil Hitler'”. The US rapper, which is hopefully died through anti-Semitic and openly National Socialist slogans everywhere, also remains for the rest of the show Fill-in for all kinds of swipes that are given to other people in the studio recordings-in “reality”, for example, he replaces Xavier Naidoo. Likewise, in the same song instead of “Elon Musk was right” today “Elon Musk is right”.
Fatoni, Juse Ju and Edgar Wasser play with Wokeness, with updates of the rap picture. Student rap, if you like, graduate rap, the next stage, at which the facts not only looked at, but also consequences were drawn from it. Open eyes and self -reflection lead to painting a few earlier songs from the setlist, for re -shaping some lines and gender on stage. Last but not least, Fatoni also calls for “mode” a flinta-only moshpit, the resolution of which he already names in advance and which he only entered when everyone who could be a mixed group dance could be uncomfortable-“I don’t want to be the only creep,” he says.
A sparkling wine on Fatoni, Juse Ju and Edgar Wasser
Bawrs himself may be less witty than older songs, but the tour to the album is a stroke of luck for the three musicians. And in the end there is every word of the new album in the audience, the north of a hundred throats sound through the room, so that there are little differences in mood in the ballroom to the trio classics. These are more likely to be recognized when only one of the three is on stage and puts his solo music in between. With Edgar Wasser, the least melodic, but also rarest of the three, the rocking arms remain raised. Juse Jus “Lovesongs” invites you to sing along, while “The end of cynicism”, despite the Wolf-Biermann classic sample, is more of a lack of understanding. Fatoni achieves the quietest part of the evening with “authenticity” and “everything passes”. It is difficult to say what this may be-there are enough fans with Fatoni shirts. Above all, because the musician at the end of “authenticity” causes an impressive increase in volume.
In the singing of the singing, mind you, mind you winc strikingly to the cell phone during the show. With the exception of the first song, you can hardly see displays in other people. The energy of Fatoni, Juse Ju and Edgar Wasser makes it more noticeable, their little dancers with a water bottle in their hands, whenever they are not the focus, infectious, all the greater when one of the many towels flies into the audience. And yes, the three can celebrate themselves a bit for this mood. So the last song “Crémant from the mustard glass” the sparkling wine is legally in a champagne glass.
