“MfG – Mit freundlichen Grüßen” – Smudo and Thomas D on the lyrics and music of Die Fantastischen Vier
with Smudo Thomas D. Rebecca Link
The key to every good song is good lyrics. That is, after all, why musician Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
The lyrics of Die Fantastischen Vier are a journey through 35 years of German hip-hop history – both personal and socially relevant, equally authentic and passionate. Since the founding of the group in 1989, it has been a formative part of Germany’s musical landscape. Hits such as “Die da?!”, “MfG” and “Troy” have riveted generations of fans. They have released 11 studio albums, several of which went platinum. And they always deliver an unforgettable mix of catchy melodies and clever lyrics, most recently on their latest album, Long Player.
At lit.COLOGNE two of the four hip-hop legends will join us to talk about their art, their songwriting workshop, their roots and the future of the band. We are thrilled to welcome Smudo and Thomas D. Host: Rebecca Link
