Christian Padberg has no instruments, no songs and no lyrics! Using only his voice and a loop station, the vocal acrobat does whatever flies through his head: he grooves, babbles, shreds and languishes. His "lyrics" sound English, Spanish, Arabic or Italian and yet everyone understands what he wants. Is this old school funk or world music? Opera buffa or jazz? Irish drinking song or Bavarian gibberish? Fun or serious? Virtuosity or charlatanry? Or, in the end, EVERYTHING?

For the concert at the Pantheon, "the Dad" has invited some of his favorite fellow musicians as guests to join him for an entertaining evening of improvisation. The audience can expect an enjoyable trip into the "land of musical freedom" - across all genre boundaries.


"Christian Padberg is one of those musicians who can ignite musical fireworks as a soloist."
