Current program: “FRIEDE-FREUDE-GÖTTERFUNKEN“
The multiple award-winning vocal band UNDUZO not only inspires with a skilful mixture of
polyphonic and catchy melodies and a charming and funny stage show, but also with the
profundity of their own lyrics, great musicality and excellent voices.
Her own compositions are stylistically at home in the facets of pop music without resorting to flat
style copies in terms of music and content. A capella is the group’s creative tool: Different styles
of singing interlock with beatbox and live-looped lines. The songs are musically written for
instruments and arranged vocal. At UNDUZO, the comedy aspect has not only a lot of humor
but also clarity and depth.
With this concept, UNDUZO wins national and international awards, e.g.
– Advancement Award for Young Songwriters – „Lieder auf Banz“ 2020
– Cabaret Prize Baden-Württemberg 2016
– Four out of seven composition prizes of the German Choir Association / competition:
“Give us songs”
– In 2018 the album was nominated for a CARA, the echo of contemporary vocal music, in
the “BEST EUROPEAN ALBUM” category.
– In 2019 the video for “Liebes Lied” wins two prizes at the A Cappella Video Awards for
“Best Video by a Professional Group” and “Outstanding Special / Visual Effects”
– Crossover projects, for example with the SWR Vocal Ensemble or the aerial artist Linda
Sander, cement the diversity of the ensemble
“The female voice mixes perfectly with the male voices, there is no gap, great soloists, great
vocal percussion, great bass player, I am full of praise […] However you have found each other,
you all have your individual qualities, […] everything fits together ”
Matthias Becker // international lecturer and juror for vocal ensembles
“Your group is very original, very powerful, unique. […] slick, sharp, you have attitude, you have
groove, great ensemble singing […] inventive, original, you have your own style and this is what
I like the best, you are hard to categorize ”
Joanne Forbes L’Estranges // former singer of the Swingle Singers
“Unduzo, they are full professionals in the a cappella segment. The ensemble stands for flawless set
singing, for sovereign playing with the microphone, for fabulous beatboxing, for excellent songwriting
between slapstick and poetry, art song and hit song, everyday rhyme and Dada. And it stands for a first-
class stage show that the audience skilfully wraps around their fingers from the first moderation, the first
interactive animation and the first sound. ”
