Middle finger to the Victoria-Gymnasium in Aachen: The song is the first harbinger of “That’s all covered by the freedom of art (Live in Berlin)”, which will be released on June 2nd.
Danger Dan has presented the first release from DAS IST ALLES ALLES VON DER KUNSTFREIHEIT GECKT (Live in Berlin) with a live version of his song “Ingloria Victoria”. The record will be released on June 2nd.
The play is directed against the grammar school in his native city of Aachen and is at the same time to be understood as a fundamental criticism of the German school system. At the end of his performance, his two middle fingers show what he thinks of his school days and the Victoria High School.
“‘Ingloria Victoria’ is a reckoning with the Aachen School, turned into piano music, from which the rapper from the Antilopen Gang who had mutated into a chansonnier was expelled more than 20 years ago,” says the press release. And further: “At that time it was not possible for his teachers to foresee which path this troublemaker would take one day and that his music would one day find its way back into the schoolyard and even into the staff room like an evil curse”.
This same “troublemaker” played both on the day of his album release and the day after in the Berlin Parkbühne Wuhlheide on the occasion of his 40th birthday on June 1st. The album can already be in different versions can be pre-ordered and there are still tickets available for the first of the two shows tickets.
