Although all their songs are performed in the local dialect, the band enjoys immense popularity far beyond the boundaries of the K\u00f6lsch-speaking region, filling concert halls across Germany and boasting loyal fanbases elsewhere in the world. The album &#8220;aff un zo&#8221; (now and then) was released in 2001. It features an image of a &#8220;So-da-Br\u00fccke&#8221; (a bridge built &#8220;just for the sake of it&#8221;) near Euskirchen; constructed in the 1970s but never put into service, it has stood as a bridge fragment, lost in the landscape, ever since. I think bands singing in local dialect appearing on postage stamps is a real rarity!<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/div><\/div>&nbsp;<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aff Un Zo\" width=\"582\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hLioJRnD1E0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;K\u00f6lsch-dialect&#8221;-Band BAP &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":489,"featured_media":40766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-briefmarken","category-musik","category-slider"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40756"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40945,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40756\/revisions\/40945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motivgruppe-musik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
