Stroll box

Something specific - live.

Bummelkasten's music videos are clicked thousands of times a day. The Berlin-based one-man band has made a name for itself on German children's music shelves with their debut album "Irgendwas Bestimmtes", which is entirely mouth-watering and euphoric for children, parents and non-parents alike. Her songs develop a pull that is hard to resist. No wonder: this pop-ideal a cappella beatbox sound - which with its detailed arrangements as well as its vocal and musical playfulness comes across as wonderfully unspoiled and entertaining - is not only unparalleled in the children's genre. With sophisticated lyrics and stubborn humor, Bummelkasten leans far out of the box and explores new artistic territory.

"Will you please come?" - the often used, politely embellished phrase of many educators, is presented so penetratingly in the song of the same name and so often answered by an infantile "Jaahaa" that it almost hurts. In "Wandern", a sinfully casual song about, well, hiking, the themes of nature and media consumption merge. But it is above all Bummelkasten's quirky characters that children get their money's worth: Max, the escalator-riding toilet paper thief. Susi, the toughest of all princesses, who likes to grill pony sausages and drive to the bakery in a monster truck. Shiny, the fairy of lights, who treats herself to a trip through the solar system, but quickly gets fed up with every planet she visits. Bulli Battmann, a nasty schoolyard bully who cries into his pillow at night, or janitor Klaus, the smartest janitor ever.

Since the first Lollapalooza festival in Berlin, Bummelkasten has been the annual highlight of "Kidzapalooza", the parallel family offshoot, as a resident. He performs stage shows from the comfort of his armchair. In addition to his witty song performances, his loop station interludes are great fun.

So take your sticky fingers off the sofa, take off your stopper socks and go for another pee: the Bummelkasten is in town!
