Bits'n'Pieces by Joachim Schwarz / Flagranti
The members of Flagranti are not only musicians but real world people. We care for more than the usual topics. We stand responsibly for a world of respect, dignity and the love for art.
We never composed symphonies in the age of 11 years or can guide the world on its way into the future. But we believe that our music and our thoughts may touch one or another and therefore intensify the perception of our colorful world.
Flagranti started in 1984 and produces different kinds of music that stretches from instrumentals to ballads, jazz rock and symphonic compositions. Currently we are working on a symphonic poem that will widen our repertoire.
Who’s expecting mainstream music will be disappointed. However, who fancies music and likes to listen will discover our love for music and a multifaceted world. Let yourself being pulled into our world.
Our vocalist Niko sings in three languages: German, English and in a old northern Bavarian dialect. Our lyrics reflect our lives, sorrow, joy and our expectations.
If you believe that all humans have a right to be treated with dignity and racism is one of the darkest sides of humanity, listen to “Pass me the bottle”. Contrary to what you may expect from the title, it is our contribution against intolerance and hatred for anything and anybody different.
