Between groove, humor, and heart
Some news stories seem unbelievable. The news of Roger Cicero's death was one such story—he died unexpectedly on March 24, 2016, as a result of a stroke. He became famous for many songs, such as “Frauen regier'n die Welt” (Women Rule the World), “Wenn Sie Dich fragt” (When She Asks You) and “Zieh die Schuh aus” (Take Off Your Shoes).
“The Roger Cicero Experience” is an evening that brings Roger Cicero's music back to life – with all the charm, elegance and wink that make his songs so distinctive. The military big band brings his sound to life in all its colorful glory: rich, modern, powerful, and with the casual precision that made Cicero's style so unique. Serge Schonckert provides sensitive vocals throughout the evening, approaching the songs more as Roger's accomplice: respectful, fresh, and with his own touch that carries on Roger's urban lightness. The result is a concert that sounds familiar and suprising at the same time—a reunion that feels like a new discovery.
An evening for everyone who loves his music, misses it, or wants to get to know it for the first time.
