A Surprising Fanbase Boom for Schlager Duo Die Amigos: The Youngsters Loving the Tunes
Astounded comrades wax lyrical over audience's devotion at youth gathering - Buddies astonished by the surging fanbase of the youngsters
Die Amigos, Germany's famous Schlager duo, are getting some unexpected love from a younger demographic. Karl-Heinz Ulrich (76) expressed his astonishment to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur, "The Schlager is doing fine right now, at least among some."
The brothers hail from Middle Hesse, and they seem to have struck a chord with the youth today. Their lyrics seem to resonate with the current generation, and it's not unusual to see young fans and even kids right up front, joining in the sing-along.
Known for their down-to-earth personalities, Die Amigos don't shy away from addressing societal issues in their songs. From homelessness to environmental pollution to child abuse, their themes strike a chord with listeners. As ambassadors for "Weisser Ring", a victim protection organization, their vocals carry a powerful message. Don't forget their dance numbers, as Bernd Ulrich (74) put it, "just for listening, for dancing, for letting loose."
Musical stress? Not in the Amigos' playbook. They thrive on the road, always ready to perform. Bernd Ulrich humorously admitted, "If someone can't get the gate open properly, then that's a burnout." The brothers don't experience stress, and they revel in their passion for music.
Despite being asked to perform on Mallorca and join a cruise, the Amigos politely declined. Their concerts in Germany are packed, and they prefer to stick close to home. Bernd Ulrich explained their decision, "We have enough to do. We decline countless offers because we only want to do 70, 80 shows a year."
The secret to their success? according to Karl-Heinz, "Stay calm, stay honest, stay fair, and get along with people. We're just like the audience."
