40 JÄHRIGE JUBILÄUM (DEUTSCH)40 JÄHRIGE JUBILÄUM

Vitamin X war die erste Band aus Afrika, die es wagte, afrikanische und
karibische Rhythmen zu kombinieren und auf deutschen und europäischen
Bühnen zu präsentieren. Seit ihrer ersten Stunde ist Vitamin X aktiv und
energiegeladen in der Szene unterwegs. Seit 1981 tourt Vitamin X durch
Europa und die Welt und gilt somit zu Recht als Pionier der Afro- und
Reggae-Bands in Deutschland. Vitamin X ist inzwischen in nahezu jedem
europäischen Land aufgetreten, sogar in der ehemaligen UdSSR, als erste
und überhaupt als einzige afrikanische Band, die jemals vom
Kulturministerium der Sowjet-Union eingeladen wurde. Auf den meisten
renommierten Festivals wie Glastonbury Festival (UK), Africa Oye Festival (UK), African Festival Delft (NL),
Masala –Weltbeat – Festival (D), Chiemsee Reggae Summer Festival (D), Summer
Jam (D), Donau Insel Fest (A) Afrika Tage München und Wien sind Vitamin X
alte Bekannte und sie teilten sich mit unzähligen weltbekannten Musikern die
Bühne: The Wailers, Manu Dibango(R.I.P.), Maxi Priest, Ziggy Marley & The
Melody Makers, Alpha Blondy, Third World, Santana, Burning Spear, Kool and
the Gang, Osibisa, Yellowman, Bunny Wailer, Lucky Dube,(R.I.P.) Steel Pulse.
Auch als Begleitband für Eek-a-Mouse, Dawn Penn & Co u.a. sind sie immer mit
Begeisterung dabei.

Nach einigen personellen Wechseln im Lauf der Jahre spielen wir jetzt
wieder in einer Formation, mit der wir nahtlos an unsere beste Zeit
anknüpfen und auch wieder neue Dinge ausprobieren können. Mit neuem
Drive und frischer Energie werden wir den Festival Sommer 2021 rocken,
denn Vitamin X steht seit 40 Jahren für Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit, was
von Veranstaltern sehr geschätzt wird. Das Publikum hingegen weiß unsere
Show zu schätzen, die auch den letzten Tanzmuffel hinter dem Ofen
hervorlockt.
