Jan Plewka singt Rio Reiser - Lass uns ein Wunder sein

In the organizer's words:

From the very first notes, Selig singer Jan Plewka creates an almost mystical, dense atmosphere, which the singer was able to maintain throughout the evening. With his rough, raspy voice, open, sore and infinitely tender, Plewka is the ideal person to convey Reiser's songs. The Black-Red Salvation Army plays.

Summer 1970: Rio Reiser sings "Macht kaputt, was Euch kaputt macht" - the birth of the political and cult rock band Ton Steine Scherben. The Scherben express the attitude to life of their generation like no other German band. But Rio Reiser is also a charismatic loner. When the band split up in 1985, Rio began his solo career. Behind the political rocker, the romantic dreamer emerges, who expresses his longing for security and love in his songs.

Jan Plewka and the Black-Red Salvation Army place this vulnerable Rio at the center of their evening. And when they play the songs of the former "King of Germany", such as "Halt Dich an Deiner Liebe fest", "Alles Lüge", "Junimond" or "Für immer Dich", it goes far beyond a mere rock concert. Because Jan Plewka, the frontman of Selig, is a singer, musician and actor all in one on this evening. He is very close to his idol and yet always remains himself. And the audience is enraptured, enthusiastic, moved. They succumb to his voice and his charm in equal measure.

This concert tour with the songs of Rio Reiser has been going on since 2005. And even after more than 250 concerts, the evening has lost none of its urgency and charisma. Quite the opposite - what the Hamburger Abendblatt wrote at the premiere is still true: "Anyone who wants to weep with happiness," it said, "must see this evening."
