Tohuwabohu! – that’s the long stretch of road that Ulrich Tukur and the Rhythmus Boys have successfully travelled over the past 30 years, entertaining audiences with skill and comedy to reach a special place in the history of popular music.

The quartet serves up cheerful, danceable rhythms and a firework of charming melodies that dissolve the paralysing contradictions of our lives in colourful explosions of grace and harmony. Distinguished dance music, refined vocal harmony, first-class instruments, smart attire and refined demeanour. In addition to world-class Italian and French hits, the Boys will present spectacular new arrangements.

If you want to escape the chaos of the world and raise your spirits with a good laugh or two, say Tukur and his Rhythmus Boys, you can take a plunge into the fantastic hullabaloo that Europe’s most eminent dance band has come up with especially for you.

  • Ulrich Tukur: vocals, piano, accordion
  • Ulrich Mayer: guitar, ukulele, vocals
  • Günter Märtens: double bass, vocals, dance
  • Kalle Mews: drums, vocals, sounds

“Tukur loves the absurd; that’s his métier, where he’s at home. The quartet, with its faux dilettantish playing and splendid song, never fails to raise spirits. Tukur and the Boys present themselves as comedic figures. This mix of nonsense and slapstick fits the audience’s pent-up entertainment deficit like a glove,” wrote the Rheinische Post.

“Anyone who does not leave a concert like this in a good mood probably doesn’t have moods at all.”
