30 Years of Ulrich Tukur & The Rhythmus Boys

What a chaos it was, what a fantastic jumble, when the Rhythmus Boys first took the concert stage thirty years ago and unleashed a storm of enthusiasm and total confusion! None of the four mastered their instrument, but wit, cultivated unruliness, and excellent looks compensated for all musical deficiencies. That has changed over the years. Now the gentlemen sing and play far better than they look; unruliness has turned into madness and cheerful disorder, and an evening with the Rhythmus Boys resembles the last tumultuous concert in a dilapidated, condemned variety theater.

“Tohuwabohu!” symbolically represents the long, successful journey that Ulrich Tukur and the Rhythmus Boys have traveled, making them unique in the history of popular music. What would life be without the weightless music of this quartet, which has understood for nearly a generation how to transform darkness into light, distress into confidence, and sadness into good cheer? Come along on a stroll in the dance step of cheerful rhythms, experience a fireworks display of enchanting melodies that dissolve the paralyzing contradictions of our lives into grace and harmony in colorful explosions. Don’t miss what could permanently change your existence: distinguished dance music, refined refrain singing, top-notch instruments, elegant clothing, and good presence. A German-speaking and international repertoire. Alongside world-class Italian and French hits, spectacular new arrangements will take your breath away, and you will say to yourself: until now, I have only existed, but now I live! Those who want to escape the chaos of the world should immerse themselves in the fantastic Tohuwabohu that Europe’s finest dance band has specially prepared for you. And there’s news: Following the change in guitar, the newly formed band is preparing for the new program “Tohuwabohu!” Ulrich Mayer will retire after 30 years together, and Hardy Kayser will be his worthy successor – on to new endeavors!

Ulrich Tukur (vocals, piano, accordion), Hardy Kayser (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Günter Märtens (double bass, vocals, dance), and Kalle Mews (drums, vocals, sounds) always await their audience well-groomed and elegantly dressed. Their promise goes far beyond the graceful arrangement of melodious notes.
