Cologne Pride: Culcha Candela

In the organizer's words:

With over five million records sold, almost 35 precious metal awards and more than 1,500 live shows, Culcha Candela may no longer be reinventing themselves, but they don't have to. In recent years, the Berlin cult collective has shown time and again that they can shake energetic club bangers and hits with attitude out of their colorful sleeves with playful ease - today as in the past. After almost a quarter of a century in the show biz, the band continues to tour sold-out venues, has just delivered the theme song for the European Handball Championships in Germany ("Celebration") and celebrated the 15th anniversary of the smash hit "MONSTA" in September 2024. The four Berlin boys can rarely bear to just watch the world go by as "onlookers". Culcha Candela have always wanted to make a difference and make the world a little bit better. That's why they continue to be highly committed to social projects such as BeAnAngel e.V., Die Arche, ActionKids, Laut Gegen Nazis, Pro Asyl, Seebrücke, Afrika Rise and many others.
