Six male voices, a chorus, and the whole square sings along. Santiano are among the greatest success stories of German music of the past fifteen years.
The debut album reached number one in 2012 from a standing start – and every other album since then as well. A series that is unparalleled in the German music business. “Santiano”, “Frei wie der Wind” and the great sea shanties are now part of every open air.
Live, the effect arises from the choral singing: shanty tradition meets rock line-up, and even those who don’t know the band sing along after two verses. The program is designed for community – there is no watching here.
For open airs, city festivals and harbour events: one of the strongest crowd pullers in the German-speaking world.
